Une expérience absolument parfaite !Merci à Olivier de m’avoir accompagnée pour mon tout premier vol — il a été très patient, très professionnel, et les photos sont superbes !Je voudrais aussi remercier la jeune femme qui conduisait : elle a conduit avec rapidité et douceur, ce qui m’a permis de redescendre de la montagne confortablement après le vol.

Super stage initiation avec Olivier et Thibaut malgré le temps pas ouf en milieu de semaine. Petite pensée pour Olivier qui a perdu son paris, je te revaudrais ça

Mon fils a vécu un super vol avec Thibault (désolée si je l'orthographe mal !), il a pu profiter du début des courants d'air ascendants pour voler un petit moment et s'amuser dans quelques acrobaties, en toute sécurité avec un super pro.Toute l'équipe sur place est adorable, accueillante et souriante.La prochaine fois c'est mon tour (même 2 fois pour rattraper 😁).Merci pour mon fiston ! Et à bientôt, c'est certain !

We did a discovery session with some friends and we didn't regret it. Olivier showed me what it's like to fly and I loved it. The little pre-flight apprehension disappeared after a few minutes with a kind and super-friendly instructor. So don't hesitate, you won't regret it.

This cross-country course at Grands Espaces made me want to fly again, because I really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the opportunity to make my own flight. I discovered group flying and the region in complete safety. Thank you to the whole team.
