The D652 from Arcachon/A660 to Saguinet runs along the east side of the base. First, you pass the road that forks off to Cazaux, D256 'BA120' is sign posted at that cross road. Continue on D652. Next you will pass the secondary gate that is being upgraded. Just after that, there is a fenced off farmland track on your left along the outskirts of a wooded patch. If you park there and will be near the final approach although many aircraft still turn in shorter.

South of spot 1, on the other side of the same woodland, the main road crosses a small canal; there is a barely noticeable bridge. Just before this, you used to be able to make a left along the forest. This was basically the only road that led into the forest. Recently this entrance have been barred just like all the other paths. The forest is fenced off as well.

This is the place to be for quick number logging. When driving counter clockwise around the base you will enter Cazaux on D112. Head straight into the village and keep going straight. After a crossroad you will be on the Allée J. Lavigne. You can follow this road all the way to the end. There is a crash gate, park your car out of sight and off road and walk to the gate. To the south of the gate there is a path towards a local resident's garden and the north side is a barren piece of land with some trees. You need to walk up and down a bit to get all Alpha Jets. You can also stay and watch the activity on the flight line. Beware of the locals though, they do not like you being there. Last but not least, the Alpha Jets on the flight line remain there overnight and usually even during weekends.

Because the Rue M. Dufaure runs along the back of the operational area, some peeks can be had of buildings. You have to gain height to accomplish this and be lucky that something is parked in such manner that it can just be seen. Most of the view is blocked by either trees or walls though, both inside and outside the base.
