Paris Dropzone ?

[airtwardo 6]

I'm headed to Paris (not Perris) for a week in May...

What's a poor ole Yankee gotta do to make a skydive there?

Anyone know?

I'm not sure about a DZ in/near Paris... but they do have a wind tunnel!!!

Go have a look at the french fédé website:

1 DZ that looks close is Brienne
http://www.cps-brienne.com/cadredroite.htm
and that DZ has a long history of big stuff (the were the site of the Performance Boogie before my time)

Thanks...
I'll contact them to see what kind of paperwork I might need.

If you can speak (or type) french, feel free to post in our Frog's forum down below.... There are a few Frenchmen there.

But you better not ask in English, or else you'll feel the wrath of this greenie (nothing bad ever happens in my forum, so when I get the chance to delete post, I rejoyce!).

I think all you'll need is USPA membership and a AAD (mandatory in France).

Depending when you go, try to swing down to Vichy for the Espace boogie!

EDIT: never mind.. Espace is in August (didnt see your dates before)

I Don't speak Frog, but my honey does...

She's actually there today on business,
and is checking the phone book for me.

She's gonna be playing tour guide most of the week
for a bunch of friends meeting us over there...

So I thought I would try to 'hide' at a DZ for a few days.

Going to try to rent gear, (no AAD on any of mine)
I don't want to drag much with me.

Tend to travel very light...

Thanks for the assist Remster

Ah come on.. You'll be in the most romantic city in the world at the best time (Paris in May cant be beat!)... with your honey! I say its time to rack up brownie points for future use! lol

Make sure that you specify "Paris, France" when you post "I spent the night in Paris". Don't want any confusion. Everyone will think you have an internet video circulating.
