Paragliding Normandy

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.

Hervé, head instructor at the paragliding school, says it himself: "Watch out for the virus, because we're completely infected...". So you've been warned: if you take a first paragliding flight with Plaine Altitude, you're in for a repeat offence! The team of instructors - Hervé, Samuel, Maxime, Philippe, Évelyse, Dorian and Emma - is as dynamic as it is passionate. Not to mention the general good humour and confidence-building that are essential for a successful flight. For thrill-seekers, the aptly named "Sensations" baptism is recommended; for the less daring, the more contemplative "Découverte" formula seems more appropriate. But when you know that the school gives wings even to those who are usually confined to an armchair, you'll soon forget your apprehensions. There's even a Baby Fly for toddlers! "A moment of wonder in complete safety". From a simple introductory flight, it's a natural progression to a training course: initiation, improvement, aerobatics or piloting, depending on your level, there's something to suit all tastes and desires. As an added bonus, Plaine Altitude boasts one of the most beautiful paragliding sites in France: the ridges of the Suisse Normande region... The school has been established for over 20 years on the heights of Clécy, in an enchanting setting overlooking the valley. Let the winds carry you over these breathtaking landscapes - you won't be disappointed!

At Le Havre, there are about members of this club… in the wind. With equipment and six wings to help beginners, the club takes on its wing several young people for initiation courses.
