Are you visiting Millau, or do you live there? Are you looking for a rush of adrenaline or simply want to relax while admiring a beautiful landscape? If the answer to any of the above questions is 'yes', then we have the perfect activity for you! You will be thrilled to know that among the many options available in Millau, one sport covers adrenaline and nature: paragliding. Paragliding is an ideal activity to take part in with family or friends, and it is accessible to everyone.

Where can you go paragliding in Millau?

• Puncho d'Agast: Located on the Causse Noir's southwestern point, the site offers numerous take-off orientations, allowing for a spectacular view over Millau, its bridge, the Gorges du Tarn and the Dourbie. Take-off will be more than 820 metres above ground level, and you will land in front of the paragliding company's reception chalet, where your relatives or friends who have stayed on the ground will be able to view and video your landing.

• Brunas: Located near the Millau Viaduct on the edge of the Larzac plateau, the Brunas site gives an incredible panoramic view of the viaduct, the Larzac plateau, and the village of Creissels. This site is practised on the north wind and will be more than 800 meters above the ground.

• Novis: Located 30 minutes north of Millau at the southern end of the Causse Sauveterre, Novis has a unique setting thanks to the surrounding landscape and its location at the entrance of Gorges du Tarn. The southeast wind will blow at this location, allowing you to take off from over 860 metres.

What are the requirements for completing the activity?

Everyone can partake in paragliding flights, and no prior experience is required. Nevertheless, it may be necessary to walk or run lightly during take-off and landing. We must inform you that children under the age of four and those weighing more than 120 kg cannot do this activity. The jumps are done in tandem, which means you will be flying with a professional paraglider who has hundreds of hours of flying experience and in charge of the aircraft's direction. So there's no need to be concerned.

When is the best time to fly?

April to November provide the optimum aerological and meteorological conditions. When it comes to the ideal time of day to fly, it all depends on the sort of aircraft you take.

What flight options are available in the area?

- The standard or discovery flight: Ideal for a first flight, the discovery flight will take place in the morning when the weather is calmer, and the winds are steadier. This flight lasts between 10 and 15 minutes, and you will fly in complete tranquillity.

- The thermal flight: Unlike the previous option, this one will take place in the afternoon to take advantage of updrafts, gain height, and therefore increase the flight time by 20 to 30 minutes.

- Long-distance flight: This is a type of thermal flight that lasts longer. It allows you to be in the air for more than one hour.

- Acrobatic flying: For those seeking more thrills, this type of flight is an ideal choice. Your instructor will demonstrate acrobatic skills that will provide you with stunning views in a gorgeous setting.

What should you take with you on the day of the experience?

For landing and take-off, make sure to wear athletic shoes. Bring comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and a windproof jacket for all seasons, sunglasses and sunscreen for the summer due to the colder temperature in the air than on land.

Prepare for a fantastic flight and an exciting and enjoyable activity with you. You will be in the skies in no time, and the panoramic view that will be presented to you will astound you. So, what exactly are you waiting for? Now is the time to book!
