A landmark you cannot miss
There is a jet fighter mounted on posts in front of the building, at the edge of the D1001. If you can see it, you have arrived.
From the main routes
The property sits beside the D1001 — the old Route Nationale 1 — between Abbeville and Nouvion, on the aerodrome itself.
From the Channel Tunnel or Calais
Join the A16 at Coquelles and follow the coast south for about an hour. Leave at Abbeville and the aerodrome is under a kilometre from the slip road, on the D1001 — signposted on your right.
From the A28 (Rouen)
The A28 meets the A16 at Abbeville: same exit, same minute of slip road. You never enter the town.
From Abbeville centre
About seven minutes: take the D1001 north and the aerodrome entrance is on the right.
