I defy @DAFlys to figure out where this one is
Only clue - it's in France. NOT Spain or Greece

Not a clue whatsoever.  BTW Mr. B, that's a really nice looking Chalet and associated grounds.

OK, one extra clue for you, since you're a LONG way away
It's on the bank of a river.

Nice place. No chance without a very specific tip as I don't know my way around France and any possible organizations.

Thanks Monty. From a Waypoints mission. I should have placed the waypoint another ten metres further away I think.

That was last week.
But this river eventually joins another and flows into the Loire - there's another hint for you

Is it 'La diablerie' on the banks of river 'La Mayenne' that flows in 'La sarthe' and then in the 'Loire' ?

Well those co-ordinates are certainly ones I passed over last week - and if you track north from there you'll spot the Palais Briau, shown in another of my posts.  And the Abbey of St.Florent le vieil in a 360pano on Skypixel.
But all that was last week.
You need to look much further north and a bit to the east.

Not wasted,   but a couple of places I wanted to fly got a pass,  and the Abbey ( I wont mention the name) we skipped totally as it was lashing down.,   And due to the tides I skipped visiting the boat wrecks on the way back.

I think this one is probably unfindable.

Internet speed varies wildly throughout France, but they're slowly ramping up the bandwidth with fibre.

The friends we visited in a backwater village on Tuesday only have 1 Mbps download and 0.5 upload. It's ridiculous.
