Here are some of the images I took during my last weeks trip and training course in Millau. A great region and at least, for me, as a newcomer to paragliding, a perfect place with a wide range of opportunities for activities in nature. I strongly recommend a visit to you! btw. you will find excellent food an wine…Please click the small images to enlarge.

Here the start and the landing area, in the middle of the right site the landing place. My great Coach, FRED, Commander in Chief of the paragliding school HORIZON, was at least one time not very amused about my landing, due to the possible damage that could have taken place, to our beautiful blue planet… earthquakes, tsunami’s etc. anyhow he gives you great confidence – everything is very cool and easy is his standard famous remark. The planet is still in reasonable shape and I can still go…so just do it!
