Whether you prefer a fixed wing [Hangliding, Deltaplane] or parachute [Paragliding, or Parapente in French], the country's liberated air travel devotees, also known as 'Le Coasting Flight', is governed by FFVL - the Federation Française Vol Libre.
With relatively good weather, plenty of very high places and 650 Coasting Clubs this is a terrific place to either learn beginners skills in safety or practise advanced Alpine Thermalling or long distance flights.
The best locations are Alpes de Haute Provence, the Pyrenees and Corsica.
