The scariest part was being driven up a mountain dirt track in a bus to the 6550 foot take off point :o
The dual paragliding part was easy :smug:

The pictures were taken by a friend...the wife is actually in one of those shots :)
Unfortunately, there is practically nothing any more to see in the old U-Boat base in La Pallice.
The buildings belong now to the harbor authorities (and no more to the French Navy).
Same thing in Lorient : but here, visits are organized (mainly in Keroman III). It's even possible to go on the top, near the 3 Flak positions (clearly visible on the picture inside my sig).
But while threading, one can enter and see the U-Boat cells ... But in La Pallice, what is unused by the harbor is now sealed.
Brest always belongs to the French Navy : so, out of limits !!!
At all events, good stay in France, Vendor !
Cheers.

The flight was about 40 mins and the EFES tasted fantastic afterwards :)
@dgn Thanks for the tip, but maybe there's a solution to get into the area anyway.
Good luck, in this case !
If you need some hints about Paris, don't hesitate to ask.
Cheers.
