I agree with Ian - the current French ICAO charts are fine, the NOTAM are easy to understand and come with plenty of full colour diagrams, and people like Alderney Airport have been making it easy to find all this on their website as well.
The only thing confusing me is that
Guernsey Flying Club's website says "Restricted airspace at Cap de la Hague is no longer active", which doesn't seem to be the case?

They are partly correct. The original restricted airspace at Cap de La Hague which was bought in after 9/11 which went out to about 17nm (draw a circle on your map centred on C de la H that goes through the centre of Cherbourg airport and you won't be far wrong) is no longer active.

They are indeed marked on the French ICAO charts. I believe they are still lacking on the French Jeppesen charts. {The ICAO charts (published in France by IGN {and available from Tra.. oops!, forgot, no advertising! FROM YOUR USUAL CHART SUPPLIER} are IMHO much better anyway; the new colours make airspace much more easily discernable}
The aforementioned SUP AIC has of course the most up-to-date info, and the French (bless them) are constantly updating the info for new "Industrial Sites" as well as nuclear facilities.
I believe a 60,000 Euro fine is the penalty for incursion, along with potential imrisomnent and confiscation of one's flying machine.

For reference, here is the home page for French SUP AIC's in France, and here is the page for French Territories abroad.

French Permanant "TRA's"
Just thought you might like to know that both the French IGN 2004 charts and the Jeppesen VFR/GPS FBS charts have the French permanant "TRA's", they are marked having the format LF(P)-Txx

Yep, just had a load of French Jepp VFR/GPS charts through and the April 2004 editions have the TRAs marked on them.
The AIC linked to above contains graphical details of the TRAs that should appear on the slice of France that the CAA publish on their Southern England charts.
