I've spent the last seven years doing what I love most: being in the air. I'm an internationally certified tandem pilot with a passion for sharing the magic of free flight. Since my very first flight, I've been captivated by the incredible sense of freedom that paragliding offers. Tandem flying allows me to share this experience with you and ensure your flight is safe, fun and truly unforgettable.

The Cantal offers exceptional flying conditions and the panoramas are unique in France. Every take-off is a new adventure.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions,
our answers

What should I wear for my flight?+
Wear comfortable clothing suited to the weather. Even if it's warm on the ground, it gets cooler at altitude:
  • Shoes: Closed shoes (trainers or hiking boots) are required for take-off.
  • Clothing: Trousers and a windproof jacket are strongly recommended.
  • Accessories: Don't forget sunglasses to fully enjoy the panoramic views!
I'm afraid of heights — is that a problem?+
Don't worry — you don't get vertigo while paragliding! It's a physiological phenomenon that only occurs when your feet are on the ground (near a cliff edge or on a ladder). Once in the air, with no physical connection to the ground, this sensation completely disappears, replaced by a feeling of gliding and absolute serenity.
What is the minimum age to fly?+
Tandem flights are available from age 5, with no upper age limit. Parental consent is required for minors. No particular physical condition is needed — you just need to be able to run a few steps at take-off.
Is it dangerous? Do I need experience?+
No prior experience is needed. In tandem flying, your pilot handles everything. Tandem paragliding is one of the safest aerial activities in the world.
What happens if the weather is bad?+
Safety is always the top priority. If weather conditions are not favourable, the flight is postponed at no extra cost. Your pilot will contact you the day before to confirm.
Is there a weight limit?+
The maximum weight is 140 kg (passenger only). Please let us know your weight when booking, as this may influence decisions related to weather and flight site selection.
How do I book? Do I need to pay in advance?+
Bookings are made by WhatsApp or phone. For individual flights, payment is made on the day of the flight. A deposit may be required for groups.
