Nothing can prepare you for that first rush of wind as the Lift propels you into the sky. Paragliding is one of a host of activities that you can do here but climbing like a bird into the sky is an adrenaline blast you are unlikely to ever forget. It’s also an amazing way to see the French countryside. For beginners, you simply need to admire the view, as a trained pilot instructor is harnessed to you and ‘at the wheel’ all of the time. Natural thermals are renowned in the Dordogne Valley and make it a fantastic place to have your first try, or for the more experienced to learn piloting skills. An adrenaline rush with the bonus of breathtaking views. Tranquillity and splendour all in the same flight – so let go and treat yourself!
