Topo-guide to French hang-gliding sites Sud Ouest

Topo-guide to French hang-gliding sites Sud Ouest

From the majestic Dune du Pyla to the puys of the Massif Central, from the mythical flight of Millau to the cross-country flights over the meandering Lot river, this topo-guide describes the 130 hang-gliding sites in the south-west quarter of France. The Pyrenees are also featured! Unless you prefer the wilder, more confidential sites of the Tarn or the Dordogne.

In the South-West, the diversity of landscapes and places is typical of what France has to offer, between sea and mountains, ocean and plain. Take advantage of this variety and treat yourself!

Exhaustive: for each site, a detailed map of take-offs and landings, the level, type of flight, access, orientation, altitude difference, GPS coordinates, as well as instructions and advice.

Practical: a table summarizing the orientation of take-offs and favorable or unfavorable winds, plus all the information you need to choose the right site: aerology, restrictions, good local tips, cross-country routes.

This is the 1st collection of topo-guides listing all the official hang-gliding sites in France, in 4 volumes with over 600 sites!
