What is paramotoring? - Paramotoring is being able to sever the umbilical cord called gravity, which binds us to earth. Just think, your own compact wing and paramotor unit. Within minutes, you can take off from a suitable field with your paramotor, and marvel as the ground drops away, revealing an immense carpet of colours, unsurpassed freedom and space. Surely paramotoring is on of the greatest adventures of the 21st century. The great escape, "Personal Flight - Paramotoring France."

Extreme Sports Cafe's Paramotor School in France - is a dedicated paramotoring school operating year round in southwest France, where the climate is predictable.

Our paramotoring courses are structured using the BMAA’s unique dual training syllabus. The paramotor tandem system, enables the student to learn to fly, with the secure knowledge that their paramotor instructor is right behind them, taking them through the stages of understanding, right up to their first solo flight and then beyond. We cater for all levels. For those who would just like to try the sport, or be trained up to pilot level and for pilots already flying, who would like to convert or simply brush up on their flying skills. Qualified BMAA instructors and top competition pilots conduct the training to the highest standards.

Our paramotor school is located in a beautiful part of France. Elevated above a vast plateau on one side and rolling hills and valleys filled with, rivers, forestry and quaint medieval style countryside on the other. This stark contrast provides us with the ideal aerial playground. An interesting microclimate and range of conditions with plenty of stunningly visual navigational turn points. It really is breathtaking from the air.
For family and friends, in addition to tandem flights, there is always plenty to see and do. The whole area is steeped in history. In the summer months the local towns and villages hold a range of traditional fetes, as well as exhibitions and spectaculars. Nearby there is a lake, which is open for water sports and the Atlantic coast is just an hour and a half away. There are also a number theme parks including Futuroscope and Le Puy du Fou, as for the restaurants well...
