Tips if you are going to do Paragliding in France

Humans have always wanted to experience the liberating feeling that birds experience when flying over the skies. This desire drove us to invent things that would allow us to experience that feeling. A paragliding experience comes quite close to the feeling of flying. Although paragliding sounds simple, it is laden with multiple benefits! Prepare to be lulled by a gentle breeze that ensures smooth gliding in the blue of a clear sky of a city in France! We have gathered five reasons why you must experience paragliding in France - the country of tourism par excellence!
1. For a feeling of freedom never felt before

Sports that provide a feeling of freedom and liberation are rare. Far from your worries, anxieties and embarrassments of life, you will witness extraordinary landscapes that France has to offer. With the wind grazing your skin and hair, your worries will fly away as the updrafts propel you. This adventure is sure to give you an adrenaline rush as you glide through the sky at an average speed of 20 km / h.
2. Paragliding has physical and mental health benefits

This sport is gaining popularity due to several reasons. It contributes to the regulation of our muscular and cardiovascular systems. A paraglider must maintain a certain posture. Your core muscles are strengthened and, you will develop a strong resistance capacity in the upper part of your body. In addition, you will be carrying a bag weighing 8-15 kgs that also helps to improve physical strength. In addition, your mind derives great benefit from it. A paraglider flight allows you to manage stress and develop your self-confidence. As you probably know, stress and lack of self-confidence are huge burdens to bear. So, paragliding is recommended for all those who want to renew their mental strength to better tackle the worries and hazards of everyday life.
3. A sport accessible to everyone

As long as you are in good physical shape, paragliding is one of the most freeing sports to exist. Anyone can afford to paraglide and do not have to be an accomplished professional. By the way, piloting a paraglider is easier than you think! You can find options that are best suited to your needs ranging from durations of 15 to 20 minutes or more. Will you take up this challenge? Do you suffer from vertigo? Don't worry about it when you are paragliding! It is proven scientifically that vertigo is only triggered when we have our feet on the ground. If you are worried about safety, let us assure you that the activity centres have state of the art safety equipment that will alleviate all fears and anxieties.
4. Paragliding is a safe sport

If you thought paragliding was dangerous, you have it all wrong. Paragliding is a safe sport, and our partners in France are qualified, certified for the activity in question. The activity centres have trained instructors to make your experience more pleasant than you can imagine. They have extensive knowledge of flight mechanics, aerology, and everything to do with the idea of carrier winds, air masses and updrafts. There is no need to panic as there is no risk involved. There is indeed no formal level of difficulty as present in other sports, but if for some reason you have some problems in the air, you will be equipped with a safety trigger that goes into function that automatically triggers your reserve parachute. Moreover, in France, with the FFP, it is compulsory to have this type of automatic trigger during any paragliding flight. There are important prerequisites for the practice of this sport in France. For instance, you must be at least 15 years old to be able to paraglide. Minors must provide prior parental authorization. To participate in this sport, one must weigh around 90 kg, however, some activity centres will accept up to 120 kg. When it comes to outfits, you need to wear suitable clothes (sports shoes, and comfortable clothes in general). Another important prerequisite is a no-objection certificate issued by your doctor before paragliding. Once you fulfil these requirements, you will be all set to fly!
5. You will take away lasting memories

The 360 - degree view of the landscape should be a part of your lifelong memories. We are talking about one session, but imagine repeating it as many times as you want! For this, some centres offer photo and video sessions that allow you to revisit the memories and share them with your friends and family. An opportunity to fill your heart, your memory and even your living room or bedroom with the most beautiful photos you have taken during your flight.
Quand souhaitez-vous entamer vos excursions en parapente ?

When it comes to paragliding, you don't have to worry about the season. You can fly both in summer and winter. The only thing to consider is the weather because, if there are heavy showers or thunderstorms, paragliding will not be possible. Instructors are proffesionals that always know what they're doing, trust them with the weather forecast conditions to have a safe flight.

MOREAU's experience
"Excellent experience with JP and his team. The flight could not be carried out on the Hautacam ridges but we do not regret that it happened at the Couraduque pass because it allowed us to fly with vultures! We will not hesitate to repeat the experience during a future stay in this beautiful region."
