Accompanied by commentary from the pilot at the controls of the microlight, your gyrocopter flight over Fort Boyard will teach you new things about this legendary site, as well as its surroundings in the Pertuis d'Antioche: you will enjoy a panoramic and rewarding aerial experience, in complete safety with your experienced pilot!
Don't miss out on the chance to admire Fort Boyard from the air by booking your gyrocopter flight, just a 30-minute drive from La Rochelle!
