While we were in the region, we took the opportunity to go paragliding with Ailements, and it was a great experience! Pierrot was very kind and reassuring, and communication was really easy. During the flight, he and Cedric took great care of us and gave us a wonderful experience! Thank you so much, we'll be going home with lots of memories!
