Let yourself be carried away, open your eyes… Savour the pleasure of flying.

With over 30 years' passion for free flight and microlighting, I offer you the chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of the sky in complete tranquillity. My role goes far beyond simply flying the aircraft. It is about creating a positive, reassuring and memorable experience for my passengers, who are often novices and anxious. The flight will be smooth, with gradual manoeuvres.

A microlight flight is an original and meaningful gift idea.

You can choose between two types of microlight:
