Funbooker has brought together a list of the best centres for tandem skydiving and parachuting in France. Discover the best options for skydiving baptisms and PAC courses… A unique experience to offer as a gift or to enjoy yourself!
On the day of your jump, you’ll arrive at the aerodrome for a quick briefing that will include theory, equipment presentation, positioning techniques and safety instructions. If you’re feeling nervous, the instructors will make sure you’re reassured!
You will then board the aircraft for a 15-minute flight up to 4000m, then the doors open! You will remain in freefall at 200km/h, accompanied by an experienced skydiver, for around 1 minute. This moment is exhilarating, and you will feel free as a bird! At about 1500m, your parachute will open, and you’ll float down to the ground in about 5 minutes, still buzzing from the experience!
Your very first jump can be as scary as it is exciting, so it’s good to understand the different types of jump in order to optimise your experience! There are three types of jumps for beginners in France:
Of course, France has some of the best views and best jumps spots in Europe! Check out 5 of our favourites for the most magical skydiving experiences!

Jumping over the Ile d’Oléron is one of the most uniquely sensational skydiving experiences! The centre, run at the aérodrome de Rochefort near Marennes by Johnny and his team, offers tandem jumps from 3500m over one of the most picturesque vistas in the whole of France!
You can jump from 240€.
On tandem jumps, your instructor opens your parachute. And if it doesn't open, there's a system that triggers automatically when you reach a certain height. So there's no need to worry.
As far as vertigo is concerned, rest assured, no one can feel vertigo at such altitudes - it's physically impossible! And with good reason: the distance between your eyes and the ground is so great that your brain loses its bearings.
In free fall you can reach a speed of almost 195km/h.
Wear comfortable, warm clothing. Shoes must be closed-toe.
Minimum age is 15. For minors, parental consent is required. Some centers also accept 12-year-old jumpers if accompanied by an adult.
It depends on the skydiving center. You generally need to be minimum 40kg and maximum 90kg. For height, you need to be at least 1m40. Some centers also specify a maximum height, around 2m10.
You'll be able to breathe completely normally, without any discomfort. You'll be able to shout, and even speak!
