For those who bring their aeroplanes to France there are a number of flight planning tools which can be used. These include Rocket Route for example.
However, if you don't have that, or get caught out, there has been a free online tool called OLIVIA, available on your PC or tablet and universally available for free on terminals at airports and many other aerodromes. OLIVIA gave you NOTAMS, weather and Flight Planning mechanisms. Available in English as well as French.
From 8th June, OLIVIA gives way to SOFIA . Its basically the same information but presented differently taking note of changes in on line technology in the last 20 years or so. I imagine it will be available in English too, so if you cannot get onto OLIVIA, now you know why, or if you did not about this service, now you do. I always found Olivia user friendly and helpful
OLIVIA = Outil en Ligne Intégré de Visualisation d' Informations Aéronautiques or On Line Integrated tool for Visualization of Information for Airmen
SOFIA = Services Orientés Fourniture d’Informations Aéronautiques
