Air sports Gironde

Have you ever visited a vineyard from the air? Bertrand Amart, microlight enthusiast and owner of Château Venus, offers you the chance to discover the Gironde, its prestigious vineyards and the Arcachon Basin from above, by taking off from his vineyards! "Discover the Graves and Sauternes (a very good approach), Historic Monuments, Saint-Emilion and Pomerol... In all, these 5 different flights, lasting from 25 minutes to half a day, are an incredible experience, crowned by a tasting of the estate's wines.

Parascendance offers first flights in paramotors (the smallest aircraft on the market) or in tiltrotors, so you can enjoy the Entre-deux-Mers countryside and its chateaux from above, between the Garonne and the Canal du Midi. For those who dream of flying solo, we also offer a paramotor-class ultralight pilot training school. Olivier Garric, your instructor, can offer you training for complete autonomy in a paramotor, leading to your ULM pilot's license. More information online!

Discover the Arcachon Basin and the Dune du Pilat from the air, and admire this unique landscape with the sandbanks and oyster beds of the Banc d'Arguin or the Cap Ferret peninsula, all possible with a paraglider. Accompanied by a qualified instructor, you'll fly in complete safety. The take-off and landing phases are gentle (just let yourself be guided). Two types of flight are possible: a very calm "discovery" flight, or a more sensational flight that mixes calm flight with passages close to the ground and more dynamic maneuvers.

Equipment rental is included, and ground training will be provided by an instructor.
