EXCELLENT Based on 545 reviews Posted on Google stephane LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. J’ai pris attache avec Ailements car je souhaitais découvrir le site de Greolieres en tant que parapentiste et cela en toute sécurité avec un coaching « personnalisé ». Du coup Pierrot, le patron de Ailements m’a donné rendez vous sur le site afin de m’accompagner sur cette journée découverte de site. C’était purement génial. Super briefing météo, super briefing sur le spot de vol avec les coins qui permettent de monter et les pièges à éviter. Une fois décollé, j’ai eu des conseils via radio et par la suite j’ai pu suivre Pierrot en vol. Franchement c’était top, avec un super état d’esprit et à chaque fois la sécurité au centre de tout. Bref vous l’aurez compris je recommande vivement Ailements.Posted on Google PAQUIER CELINETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
