WHO ARE WE ?
OUR STORY
For nearly 30 years now, Air et Aventure has been supporting the paragliding and ultralight flying community in France and abroad. Our ambition is to inform and advise those who need our expertise! We strive to know our equipment as well as possible. We keep abreast of advances in equipment and developments in our disciplines, and don't hesitate to call on other players in the market to ensure we're always relevant and efficient !
Since 2020, the company has experienced a major turning point in its history. Formerly made up of Didier Eymin, a renowned Ulmist, and his collaborators, the team is now undergoing a complete overhaul. It is now made up of specialists in various fields. Reception and sales, consulting and purchasing, communication and development, and webmarketing are just some of the services that have been created in 2020 with the arrival of the new team. The aim of this fragmentation of divisions is, of course, to be able to adapt as effectively as possible to our environment and the needs of our customers, suppliers and partners !
Founded in 1990, Air et Aventure was first masterfully managed by Didier Eymin. Initially specializing in the sale of equipment and accessories for the practice of aerial sports, the company was given a new lease of life when Thibaut Pignol took the helm in 2020. Since then, a paragliding school has been set up, and now offers paragliding courses and first flights. More projects are on the way in the next few months, and we're sure you won't be disappointed !
