Reader's Question ─ Aircraft Hire Near Paris

Amy writes: 

Bonjour Mr. Les King - Thank you for maintaining the francoflyers website.

We will be in Paris to visit family in June 23-June301.

I  would like to rent a small airplane with an instructor (with my husband as a passenger) for a day trip to fly from Paris to Shoreham Airport, back through either Deauville Normandie or Caen then back to Paris (possible route LFPZ EGKA LFRG LFPZ).

The plane I'm looking for would be a Cessna 172 or similar.

As background, I have a private pilot license and just began working toward my instrument rating. I also added the seaplane rating when I was in Alaska 2 years ago. And last year, when I was in Barbados for a meeting, I rented a small plane (with an instructor) to fly around the island.

I saw that near Versailles is Aerodrome de Saint-Cyr-l'Ecole with a few aeroclubs. I reached out to Aeroclub Cercle Aeronautique du SGAC but they said they don't provide such services.

Here is the list of aeroclubs that came up in my cursory search but didn't want to reach out to all of them and scare them all off at one time. I figure I should ask for help.

Aéroclub de Courbevoie www.ac-courbevoie.com
Aéroclub de BoulogneBillanco http://acbb.org 
Aéroclub les Alcyons www.alcyons.com
Aéroclub de Versailles www.aeroclub-versailles.com
Aéroclub Pierre Trébod www.trebod.fr
Aéro-club Paul Tissandier www.actissandier.com

Sorry for the long email. Any help/advice would be very much appreciated! :)
