It's a sunny sunday, let's go for a trip.

The idea is to join the Normandy coast west of Deauville, fly along the coast ans the Seine estuary, the north to Le Havre, fly along the coast to Dieppe. We plan to make a stop in Deauville or Le Havre according to the mood.

West of Deauville tis is Houlgatte.

Then Deauville and Trouville

We decide to fly on and make our stop in Le Havre. This is the Normandy bridge.

Before reaching the bridge, this is Honfleur.

A this moment the Deauville controler advises us that Le Have just closed as the runway is unusable. We turn back and land at Deauville.

After a short break we fly over the estuary to Le Havre.

The we reach Etretat and the famous cliffs.

Further east, this is Fécamp.

Being careful not to infringe prohibited areas around Saint Valery en Caux and Penly nuclear powerplants we fly east towards Dieppe before turning back to Nangis.

After the daughter last week (here) it's mom's turn. My sister in law Flavia got to taste a flight.

We flew the usual route out of Nangis, this is Vaux le Vicomte castle in the background

Today was a very nice day for flying so we took the RV to go to the beach. Take off at 10:45 and landing at 11:45 at Le Touquet. We missed the bus by two minutes, there were no taxies so we rode bicycles to the beach.

We overflew Côte d'Opale heading north. This is Merlimont beach just north of Berck.

Then Stella beach

And finally Le Touquet-Paris Plage (the airport is visible in the background).

After a two year trip to Australia and an return via New Zealand and California, my goddaughter Marie-Laure is back in France.

Before she joined her family in the Landes we managed to squeeze in a short flight.

Today, before working on the interior we make a short flight over the Champagne vineyards. This is the valley north west of Epernay.
