Meeting all Your Flying Needs
Host John has flown at venues all over the world, with and without family, and has discovered a gem, not too far from the UK.
He set up Paragliding France to ensure an unforgettable flying experience for all ages and skill levels.
Conditions in the Charente/Dordogne region are exceptional – perfect for flying, with large, stable thermals, fabulous weather and breathtaking vistas.
John’s vast experience means he understands exactly what the flying community wants – high-quality paragliding, paramotoring and winching, along with the right conditions and facilities for training.
Paragliding France provides all this and more, from a fabulous, well-equipped, traditional French farmhouse base – a relaxed, home-from-home that will delight flyers and their partners.
Your Unique Paramotoring Experience in France
The Charente/Dordogne, offers the most idyllic, safe, perfect weather for all levels of paramotoring. There are thousands of miles of sky to play in.
The weather is very consistent and there is always places to land, just in case. You’ll experience amazing views of ancient villages, châteaux and the impressive landscape of the Charente/Dordogne. It’s safe to land almost anywhere.
We have Five excellent flying sites, which work in any wind direction. The nearest site is just 3 minutes away. It’s even possible to land back at the farm (but not on a daily basis, due to noise).
All flying sites are exclusive to us, and cater to all levels of flyers. There is minimal overcrowding, like you find at many UK sites, is unknown!
