Craving tranquility and a touch of nature with a side of adventure? Look no further than Corrèze in France, nestled at the foot of the Massif Central in the southern part of the country.
Égletons Aérodrome : A Unique Experience
The Égletons Aérodrome is often likened to an aircraft carrier by pilots from the local aero club. Situated on the edge of a lake that's just a short walk away and surrounded by lush forests, this airstrip offers a unique flying experience. Pilots should be cautious of the winds; according to the VAC chart, south or southwest winds can cause downdrafts and turbulence in the takeoff areas (and landings)
The aero club can provide UL91 fuel upon request, provided a club member is present.
Nature The lake near the airstrip is perfect for swimming, leisurely walks, and enjoying the serenity of nature. It's an ideal spot for nature lovers seeking peace and quiet.
