The weather is good, paragliders meet for their pleasure and give lessons to all; tourists go up on foot for 2 hours on a path that muleteers used to take in the past! or by train, cars are forbidden; there is a good atmosphere of gaiety until the evening, we sit in the grass and sing! Cradle of free flight, France is also the nation that currently federates the best paragliding pilots in the world. Since the first hang gliders in the 1970s and the first paragliders a decade later, it has established itself as a reference and even today, France confirms its place as the undisputed leader in various distance competitions at the international level. The French team has been world champion by nation since 2013. Whether in the Alps or in the Vosges, paragliders are numerous and have ideal massifs for the practice. The French youth championships are part of the official 2018 calendar of the FFVL (French Federation of Free Flight), paragliding has a future.
