Default Soaring near Paris, France (Not Texas :-)

Greetings, all!

My work will take me to Paris, France Nov 3-10, 2004.

Would you please be so kind as to forward me contact information
for a glider club or operation where I might fly as a guest
on the weekend of Nov 6-7, 2004?

I don't need to solo or go cross-country... just a "friend"
ride with a member would be GREAT. I expect to pay for the
tow and a "daily use fee", or whatever it is.

I hold a USA Commercial airplane, glider, seaplane, with
Instrument and CFI airplane, glider, instruments, 5000 total
time, 600 glider hours (self, aero and winch launch current).

I just want to FLY while I am in France!

Thanks in advance for your help... an email to would be
most appreciated, in case I miss it on rec.aviation.soaring!

Look at

Be aware, though, that your chances to find flyable weather in november
would be much better in Paris, Texas!

Paris' region is Ile-de-France :
http://www.ffvv.org/oupratiquer/ilede.htm

Finding lift in november in flat regions is unlikely in France though
not impossible, but some clubs (but not all) even suspend flight
activities in that period in order to focus on glider maintenance.

You may have more information on France's main soaring forum :
http://www.planeur.net/forums/
(fist sub-forum in the liste "www.planeur.net" is the more appropriate
for such a question - direct access
http://planeur.phpnet.org/ivb/index.php?showforum=1 and most by clicking
on "nouveau" button)

R. Parce que ça rompt le cours normal de la conversation !!!
Q. Pourquoi ne faut-il pas répondre au-dessus de la question ?

Jer,

"Service Compris" means that the tip is ALREADY included in the restaurant /
cafe / bistro bill. You can leave a little bit of change if you so wish, but
do not leave the tip you might leave in a US establishment. They will only
think that you are a rich American, worthy of disdain. Bring lots and lots of
$$$$

Cheers, and have a great trip

Charles
