3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

The Dune du Pilat seems to be paraglider's paradise. You can see hundreds of them practising their sport along the dune.
Of course their a couple of school (usually situated at the campsites) where you can take classes or just try a tandem flight (?).
But just watching was also good fun!
