Air sports Manche

Flying a paraglider, with this unique feeling of living in communion with nature, discovering sublime landscapes of the south of the Manche: this is the programme proposed by Manche Parapente. Launched in 2015 by the young Adrien Valognes, an enthusiast holding the distance record of Lower Normandy, the brand invites you to escape. Different formulas are proposed: discovery, great flight or sensation, and take-offs can be made from Granville, Carolles, Champeaux or, further away, from the rocks of Ham. Information on the site according to the weather.

A place at the end of the world, facing Mont Saint-Michel: you are at the Avranches aeroclub. That day, under a beautiful winter sun, the view is superb, the sheep are there too, sometimes even on the runway. On the spot, a flying school, possibility to make initiation flights, or baptisms. By microlight or by plane, it's up to you to choose the way you want to take off. On-site, a bar open to all, a beautiful terrace to admire the ballet of small planes.

A unique experience, in a unique place. The airship hangar of Écausseville, untouched since its construction more than a century ago, is the setting for a possibility that makes you dream: fly with your own wings! The Aéroplume association takes advantage of this incredible space to allow you to take to the skies. You put on the special harness, you are weighed down - or unloaded - and the flight is yours. Like a bird, you flap your wings to move forward. Incredible!

What a thrill! It is from the Lessay airfield that you will start a climb to several thousand meters of altitude before making the big jump! Whether you are a beginner or an experienced skydiver, A'Air is a skydiving school which is not only for beginners, and also allows you to make your first jump - in tandem of course. You will of course be able to choose a video or photo option, and thus keep an incredible memory of this session, in a beautiful geographical area, sweeping the coast. Unique!

What a great experience: such a region, such beautiful landscapes, seen from the sky... Frédéric Fortin, your instructor, offers introductory flights, first flights and microlight flights: he will give you useful advice and make you feel at ease. Walks in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, flying over the islands Chausey: what to get a good view, without being risky. This is an original birthday gift, which combines strong sensations, discovery of incredible aircraft and enriching explanations.

A flying club like no other for many reasons: firstly because of its location, a few minutes flight from Mont Saint-Michel, by the sea, what a pleasure! And also because the range of activities offered here is rich. You can become a pilot, and take the necessary tests, but also take your first flight and make initiation flights. The fleet, which includes no less than 6 planes, will invite you to take off for a flight over the Chausey Islands, for example, or Mont-Saint-Michel, a little further south!

The Centre de Vol à Voile de Vauville-Hague association, in the commune of La Hague, is based at the Vauville-Camp Maneyrol airfield, which offers ideal conditions for gliding: gentle slope, favourable winds, the site is a must for this discipline. Today, the association offers 2 activities: gliding and multi-axis microlight flying. For novices, the sensations are guaranteed, especially during introductory flights.
