Saint-Vallier de Thiey :
The majority of the time, the flights will be proposed to you in Saint-Vallier de Thiey, a small peaceful village located on the Napoleon road, about 10 mn from Grasse and 1 hour from Nice by car, towards Castellane and Digne-Lès-Bains.
The appointments are made at the paragliding landing, located in front of the Chapelle-Sainte-Luce, a nice place to picnic.
From there, we climb together by car to the Pas de La Faye pass, about 6 km, then a ten-minute walk (on a relatively flat path) will allow us to access the take-off site located on the mountain of Puet.
The altitude difference is about 300 meters and from here you will discover a nice landscape with a view of the Côte d'Azur in the distance : the bay of Cannes and the Lerens Islands, the Esterel Massif, the lake of Saint-Cassien, the bay of Frejus and Saint Raphael.
