Go there with your eyes closed! Well, not closed, on the contrary...A very good time, magnificent! ?Thanks to a top team, the family (from 7 to 45 years old) loved it...To do it again, probably the sensational flight next time, see 10 cool minutes (because it's a real moment of relaxation) and 10 minutes sensation! Only small downside to put one. We took a family flight with a 360 video option, to have this memory on video and the flight with the video was alone. A special mention to Pierre-Evelyn, Top instructor! The little one really liked it, the little sensation too... I'm almost jealous! ?

De très bons moniteurs, un magnifique spot, venez y passer l’après midi pour nager + voir le coucher du soleil et profiter du parapente en bonus ! Attention je recommande le vol calme plutôt que fun si vous avez tendance à avoir la nausée en voiture ou dans les parcs d’attraction 🙂 enjoy !! Un des plus beaux spots d’Europe pour s’essayer au parapente !

Yesterday, we had a cool 10min flight which was not only cool but also pleasant: sun, beautiful view, everything was there. Educational and smiling instructor. Small regret 10min too short, and we expected to see the dune from the water but the wind was not in our favor. We hope to be able to do it again and see our beautiful dune from another angle.

It was great. A fabulous birthday gift. The organization is really good and we are warned well in advance in case of good or bad weather. Flight time is very nicely higher than expected when possible. We will do it again and we recommend!?

A magical place, caring people and great teachers, who don't hesitate to send a few committed wings... if you ask nicely?. Thank you Pierre Evelyn for this timeless moment.

Too awesome: it was my first paragliding flight, following a gift card. I wasn't super comfortable at first and then we took off... Wonderful: the sky, the sea, the beach and the feeling of being a bird, of hovering above the crowds. I still dream about it. Thank you very much for these moments of pure happiness! Special mention to my top pilot: Pierre, great organization. I recommend without reservation. Eric

A great moment with a professional who listens and is reassuring at the same time. He made me feel so comfortable that I let myself be tempted by a few aerobatics... A feast for the feelings and for the eyes! I already want to start again. Good continuation to your structure.

An unforgettable experience that I already want to repeat! Magnificent scenery, gentle take-off and flight as you skim across the sand, then initiation to stronger sensations, big adrenaline, much better than a merry-go-round! The team is super nice and attentive!

Very pleasant flight, in a dazzling setting in good company. Family welcome and friendly atmosphere, enough to be reassured from the start. We quickly realize that this pilot is very experienced with a mastery of his equipment close to perfection. I recommend this structure to all people wanting to offer themselves an unforgettable moment while being safe.

Superb experience! Friends gave me an "all inclusive" gift voucher where I was able to take control and discover the joys of flying. A lot of apprehension at takeoff because sensitive to vertigo but very quickly faded, intoxicated by the beauty of the landscape and the reassuring words of PE. I strongly recommend!
