Try your hand at aerobatics at the La Roche-sur-Yon airfield

Come try your hand at aerobatics and discover new, extraordinary sensations. Head to the heart of the Vendée region, at the La Roche-sur-Yon airfield, to experience aerobatics and its unique thrills. You’ll have a choice of three packages: the “Reconnaissance” package, which introduces you to the classic aerobatic maneuvers (loops, barrel rolls)—it’s the perfect choice for a first-time aerobatics experience. The “Combat” package lets you try competition maneuvers such as the “avalanche” or “bells.” Finally, the “Extreme” package offers the most intense thrills aerobatics has to offer—it’s perfect for thrill-seekers.

Come experience the sensation of freefall in a wind tunnel

If you want to experience the sensation of freefall but are afraid of heights, the freefall simulator is the perfect activity! You’ll feel the same sensations as during a skydive, but in complete safety and at an affordable price. During your freefall simulator session, you’ll fly up to 6 meters high; the wind generated by the fans reaches speeds of around 280 km/h, and the wind intensity is adjusted based on your experience, weight, height, and position. Plan to spend 1 hour and 30 minutes on-site for the activity.

You’ll be accompanied throughout the activity by a certified professional instructor, who will ensure your safety so you can focus on the scenery and the magnificent view unfolding before you. You’ll climb to an altitude of 4,000 meters aboard an airplane, then leap into the void for 50 seconds of freefall at 200 km/h. You’ll land gently right in front of your loved ones.

Beat the best lap times at the Challans go-kart track

Get your boating license if you’re a captain at heart

The river boating license course is divided into two parts: a 3.5-hour practical session and a 7-hour theoretical session. You’ll be guided throughout the course by a professional instructor who will help you earn your river boating license.
