Chavenay. Airport

The camera is in the office of Reno flying club at Chavenay-Villepreux aerodrome. It got its name from the commune, in which it was built. Chavenay economy is mainly based on agriculture, but the aerodrome also brings income into the commune coffers.

The modern name of Chavenay appeared after several changes, and the original name of the settlement comes from the Latin word Cavenoilus.

Now and then, the planes of Reno flying club appear in the picture. There are several bundled offerings for everyone, who wants to feel like a pilot. For 500 euros, you can use the Discovery service and fly for 3 hours with an experienced instructor who will let you fly a plane for a short time. Before the flight, you will get a comprehensive instruction.

Initially, the airport was built for military purposes in 1936, but it was turned into a civilian one after the Second World War.
