Paragliding holidays Charente France

Paragliding.

In spring 2005 A new Paragliding centre was opened 5 mins away in Villebois Lavalette. The new centre is located in the adventure park on the outskirts of the village.

There are 2 runways to accommodate different wind directions and take-offs are winch assisted, towing the pilot (and optional passenger) to what looks like about 2000'

We've been! all of us!! What a fantastic tandem flight!

I was most surprised that the kids could have a go too, Jake (12) and Pippa (9) were rather apprehensive at first, but once told they had no choice then they soon knuckled down to it. A picture says a thousand words as they say....
