Spot guidance

We'll sail along the coast of Brittany in France on a Lagoon 40 catamaran for about 2-3 hours per day, and find a new bay and paragliding spot every day where we will then drop anchor in one of the countless, scenic anchorages, where you can easily unwind. Your guides will take you far and wide, teaching you how to use the wind for sailing and paragliding and about geology along the route. You'll venture far to the outer islands of the archipelago and get close to the amazing sea life in this unusual habitat, if lucky you may even catch a fish or spot dolphins or whales. The route will be adjusted each day based on weather conditions, but expect to explore the beauty of the Glénan Islands which are considered to be the Caribbean of Brittany, Camaret-Sur-Mer, a gorgeous old fishing harbour and Île d'Ouessant, France’s most westerly point. Of course, the entire equipment for paragliding is included in the price, as well as accommodation and transport. Just get here and start your adventure! We use top-of-the line gear maintained to the highest standards to make sure you stay comfy and safe in the water and the sky. We provide easy access to a remote coastal landscape with every practical aspect taken care of. The tour is led by a certified sailing skipper and paragliding instructor with First Aid & CPR training.

The Destination

Brittany in France is just beautiful. There are uninhabited islands everywhere and some of them you can only reach by boat. The seven Glénan Islands lie in the middle of the Bay of Biscay off the coast of Concarneau and are referred to as the Caribbean of Brittany or “Breton Tahiti”. The archipelago, with its white beaches and azure water, forms the antipole to the otherwise rugged rock landscape of Northern France. Some people say that the Glénan Islands are the most beautiful islands in Europe. Only accessible in summer, they are best known for sailing and diving and for having a unique indigenous flower.

The Experience

Team up with a crew of like-minded adventurers for a true outdoor experience! Take in the sight of Brittany’s beautiful wild coast from at least 50m over ground and discover hard-to-reach locations that are only accessible by sailboat. Dream of adventure, of playing Robinson Crusoe. When you’re in Brittany, the dreams running through your mind will be about flower-covered islands floating on top of the waves, terrains between heaven and earth. The natural world is wilder and richer here than everywhere else, but still welcoming to visitors. Leave the car behind and sail towards these protected, nurturing islands. This is what getting away from it all really means.

After meeting in Nantes (airport or city centre) where we will pick you up, we'll take a 2-hour drive to the marina in Lorient, our sailing launch point. Throughout the trip, we'll sail along the coast of Brittany on a Lagoon 380 catamaran for about 2-3 hours per day, and find a new bay and paragliding spot every day where we will then drop anchor in one of the countless, scenic anchorages, where you can easily unwind. Your guides will take you far and wide, teaching you how to use the wind for sailing and paragliding and about geology along the route. You'll venture far to the outer islands of the archipelago and get close to the amazing sea life in this unusual habitat, if lucky you may even catch a fish or spot dolphins or whales.

The route will be adjusted each day based on weather conditions, but expect to explore the beauty of the Glénan Islands which are considered to be the Caribbean of Brittany, Camaret-Sur-Mer, a gorgeous old fishing harbour and Île d'Ouessant, France’s most westerly point.

The price is 1390€ for the week. Of course, the entire equipment for paragliding is included in the price, as well as accommodation and transport. Just get here and start your adventure! For more questions send us a message in a bottle or carrier pigeon!

Accommodation

Your home will be a brand new Lagoon 380 catamaran with 4 spacious double cabins. On deck between the two hulls there's a big trampoline where you can sleep at night under the stars. Definitely our favorite spot!
