I had a similar experience at St. Auban
One day of sight seeing and one day of mountain workout
and three days of solo.
Six month before my planed arrival I requested there package for
visiting pilots. Even though I filled out and send everything that
they requested for solo flight. The paper work was not done on my
arrival. After telling them that I was not interested in flying with
them at all, unless I get my solo status, they were able to get it
within 24 hours.
I had the impression that they were not interested in pilots doing
solo.
The landscape is spectacular and flying is a challenging
I spend Euros 980.00 flying for the week, plus Euros 420.00 for a
cabin for one week, clean but very basic, food not included. Breakfast
on site is none existing unless you call a bowl of coffee and a dry
muffin breakfast. I ended up making my own. You must also look after
your own lunch. In the evening supper was available at a reasonable
rate.

Can anyone advise me what I will need to be able to fly solo

Best would be to just ask them:http://www.cnvv.net/

I did and they referred me to the local district office at another
airport that I need to call and I thought someone on the list might be
able to give me a head start.

I guess it depens on the result of a check flight. I had no prior
mountain flying experience and made two flights in double-seaters
there before they told me to fly solo.
