The flying Site CAUSSOLS - 06 Alpes Maritimes |
||||
|
Caussols is a small village in the South of France, precisely, in "l'arriere pays de Grasse", region known to be sunny. The slope site is situated at the hill of Calern, above the village of Caussols (mountain with a flat top...)On this immense hill, you can find "l'Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur" (Cote d'Azur Observatory). The slope altitude is around 1200 Meters
(around 400 feet) and always in the wind, which will allow us not to suffer to much of the sun. The main slope is oriented South/East, facing the sea breeze, who are blowing almost everyday during the summer. We are flying with a view to the Mediterranean sea. To get to the top, there is a walk on flat of around 300 mtrs, from the car park to the launching zone. The landings are easy and without turbulences on a large flat dry grass area.

I propose for everybody to take accommodation to "l'Auberge du Grand Rocher", 8 km from Gréolières, which will be our main camp base and meeting point. This nice 8 rooms and 70 dormitory beds hotel restaurant will also allow us to use the big field beside the hotel for tents, caravans and camping cars, and will be entirely booked for us. That will allow us to us the
hotel's commodities and showers. For safety reasons, there will be no electricity at the camp site, but it will be possible to plug almost anything (Pcs, cameras, chargers and so on...) in the hotel.
