Skydiving in Paris, France?

[VERSLECIEL 0]

Hi - I'm a skydiver living in Paris, France for the moment (originally from USA) - I've been looking all over the place for dropzones/wind tunnels in or near Paris - I know there is Aerokart for the wind tunnel - but is there any way to get there without a car? That's my main issue - I've got no car here and all the DZ's or tunnels seem to be a bit out of the way? Any ideas??? Thanks!

We are catching a train to Mauberge from paris in two weeks, i'll let you know how easy it is once we have done it, it is only an hour or 2 from what I have been told.

Jump tickets are Euro25 ($40) though which is our biggest concern. over 3 x what we are paying here in lodi.

Best thing to finddropzone in France is wuza.com

Go to "zone des Saut" in the Menue.

haha, i dont think lodi's a reference, i'm not saying it shouldnt be, but that price is really very normal in europe..

You can go to Aerokart using the suburbs train RER. I think the path (line #, stations ...) is described in Aerokart Web site.

If you want to get some lift to one DZ around Paris , you can post on wuza.com to get some proposals. I heard that the Lille DZ can be accessed by train (TGV)+ bus quite easily

www.aerokart.fr/pdf/aerokart_pub/04_plan_acces.pdf check the "transports en commun" section

for the rides to the DZ's, as said above, go to www.wuza.com and ask in the "co-voiturage" (car sharing) section

Awesome! Thanks so much - I looked everywhere on Aerokart's website - didn't know I needed to download the map. Merci!!
