Following the demise of the big Latécoère seaplanes that were the pride of the Mermoz, Guillaumet and other generations, floatplanes eventually deserted our lakes, rivers and seashores, followed by hydrobases and other hydrosurfaces. That's why only the Biscarrosse hydrobase can still claim this title today, even though it's open to general air traffic. Baptism, flight over the dunes, the Basin... Enjoy yourself while supporting our team of passionate volunteers.

Have you always wanted to fly? The plane annoys you? It seems that parachute jumping is precisely what you need! On the other hand, the Earth's attraction being what it is, don't expect to see you grow wings, the landing is the inevitable end of this experience... But what an experience! Strong sensations, grandiose landscapes, a taste of coming back... However, certain conditions are necessary to be able to send you to the air: be at least 15 years old (or have written authorization from your parents for minors), have a medical certificate from your doctor and do not weigh more than 90kg (if this is the case, go on a small diet!) and plan your half-day. It should be noted that the centre is approved by the federation. Good fall!
