Le Touquet… it’s a favourite destination for British pilots.
A short flight crossing the English Channel and you’re into a very British friendly airport at Le Touquet Plage, so friendly that the French have even renamed it Elizabeth II Airport after the late Queen.
Despite being just 20-odd miles from England, Le Touquet is very definitely French, oozing style with majestic buildings and, of course, great places to eat and stay.
But there’s a lot more and a new podcast by Fernando Pinho covers much of what you might find helpful and useful.
Fernando said, “Le Touquet’s airport truly stands out as a premier General Aviation destination. With border force and customs on-site, your arrival is hassle-free.
“Plus, there’s car and bike rental, along with public transport options, so you can easily explore the area.
“And the best part? The beach and town centre are just a short two-mile hop away.

“Flying in is straightforward, and the new airport website has most of the nitty-gritty details. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a friendly team and Marcus, the airport’s adorable Golden Retriever mascot.
“Now, here’s the funny thing: as a pilot, I thought I knew Le Touquet from my quick daily visits. But last year, I realised I’d barely scratched the surface.”
Now Fernando has put that right with his well-researched and comprehensive guide to Le Touquet in this half-hour podcast on the link below.
