Hi David and all,

Feeling compelled to jump in.
Would you care to elaborate about the above statement ?
As a French pilot, I am not aware of /any /French airfield closing to 
VFR during daytime.
Or maybe you were just talking about ATC or AFIS published hours or IFR 
arrivals, though that never prevents incoming or departing VFR traffic ?

To sum it up, French airfields are accessible to VFR at any time between 
SR-30 min and SS+30min.

One notice, though : at Troyes at no-AFIS hours, you must use French 
only on the radio, like on most French airfields.
