Discover the joys of paragliding on the Dune du Pilat. Xavier will take you on a memorable and exceptional experience: a first paragliding flight over the Dune du Pilat or its surrounding dunes (depending on wind direction). He holds a " brevet d'Etat d'Educateur Sportif Parapente " (B.E.E.S) with over 20 years' experience.
An incredible spot for paragliding: the Dune du Pilat
At the entrance to the Arcachon Basin, you'll have a breathtaking view of the Banc d'Arguin, Ile aux Oiseaux, the oyster beds and the Cap Ferret lighthouse in the distance. You'll also have the chance to discover the basin's superb landscapes, including the Dune du Pilat, Banc d'Arguin, Île aux Oiseaux and Cap Ferret.
Course of the flight (30 minutes)
- Welcome and fitting of paragliding harness
- Briefing on flight rules and procedures, and off you go for takeoff.
- You'll start with a stroll along the dunes. Then you'll take the controls and pilot the paraglider under Xavier's expert guidance.
- Finally, hang on for a sensational moment! Xavier will take over the controls for a series of piloted movements such as 360s, touch and goes and wings over!
- Descend after a 30-minute flight.
The spherical video is included: ideal for an unforgettable souvenir. The flight will be filmed using a high-definition spherical camera (Gopro Max). An SD card will be given to you with the recorded video.
This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful sites in France to try out paragliding in Gironde. For wedding witnesses looking for an activity to do around Arcachon, this is an original idea for an EVG or EVJF.

Unfortunately for me, I couldn't make my flight because the weather conditions weren't right. Xavier was very kind and said I could have my money back, but it would have to be in the form of a voucher as a refund is not possible. voucher as refunds are not possible. I'll see what I can do instead, and I've got a year to make up my mind.

Flight to the Dune du Pilat with Xavier, too bad the weather didn't allow us to do all the flights, as there were 4 of us and only 3 were able to fly. Of the 3 flights made, only one had perfect conditions for flying, otherwise the other 2 were fine but lacked a little wind to really get the expected sensations. We recommend Xavier, who was very professional and friendly, doing everything he could to ensure that everyone got the most out of the experience, even if the weather conditions weren't always favorable.
