  1. Hi, you seem to be at a fantastic location, I used to live at the edge of the Cevennes and still return regularly to the mid-southern part of france for ultralight flying and astro activity .

    Can I ask please, what is your location and is there an airstrip nearby?

    Thanks & cheers,

    Gus Vrancken

      Hi Gus, most of my local friends are free flyers. From the back of the house we can see the Chabre ridge which hosted the world hang gliding championships.  The campsite in nearby Laragne Monteglin hosts the Chabre Open for paragliders each year and is our local shopping town. The campsite has a landing site for paragliders, hang gliders and microlites. Sailplanes fly out of Serres just to our north. I think Klaus Ohlen flies there. I believe he flew to Malta on wave a while ago and holds or has held some world records. There's another sailplane aerodrome just to our south at Sisteron-Vaumeilh.

      We are at Etoile St Cyrice, a small village near Orpierre which is just west of the main road connecting Laragne Monteglin to Serres. (South of Laragne Monteglin it goes through Sisteron.) We have downsized our astronomy gite recently but still have a small flat available. It has a double bedroom with armchairs and en-suite shower-WC and a small dining kitchen. There is a covered summer cooking-eating area outside that goes with the flat.

      In any case, feel free to drop in and see us if you're in the area.

      Best wishes,

      Olly
