Here’s the story: after taking a train far, far away from Paris and taking a taxi to the DZ… I get there on a weekday and the first thing they tell me is that they are not flying during the day… I kind of get pissed but then the story went on…
DZ operator: “helicoteghfjbg”…
Me: what did you say?
DZ operator: “Helicopter!”
Me: A HELICOPTER NO ****ing WAY!!
*Helicopter lands right nearby the landing area*
ME: OMFG you guys got a helicopter on your DZ, I WANT INNNN!!

I just felt like a 6 year old on his way to Disney…
The DZ was pretty decent, quite a nice landscape. The people there were all pretty great. The guys invited me for some beer after closing time but I had no time to join them… Anyways, the DZ operator was very attentive and explained everything with detail. The locals were all cool with the outside newbie (I only had 45 jumps)! The only downside was that I couldn’t use my 150 since the French are pretty strict with sizing… I currently use a 150 and had to use a 210. The gear rental was only 6 euros though… pretty cheap comparing it to where I come from! Didn’t get a ride on their porter that day but got the ride on the copter! I don’t think they own it, maybe it was just for some competition they had on the weekend… but anyways, don’t miss this spot if you're around France, the locals are all cool and the place is pretty nice itself. Thanks a lot guys, the crowd vibe was awesome! The free coaching was really great too!
