When flying the wave in winter you could see the Airliners passing
nearby following the VOR track into Montpellier. All glider pilots
there are checked out and advised on the traffic situation. But within
the years the "free" airspace was cut down a lot in vertical and lateral
extension.

Anyway, it's a nice place and if you are in the region you should go
there and say Bonjour. A glider flight over the "Pic" is nice and an
aerotow through the rotor towards "Rocque Blanc" is exiting. In the clear
winter air during a 360 you can see the Mediterranean Sea, the Alps,
the Pyrenees and the beautiful landscape of l'Herault departement.

Do you have a link to web site(s) with club and visiting pilot info? I
understand that getting the necessary pilot paperwork can be time
consuming (a day when they are open). Is this true? Can it be done by
(e)mail? I am asking from the perspective of U.S. pilots.
