Activity description

Fly over the Vendée region in a gyrocopter from Courçon, near La Rochelle, and enjoy a magnificent 270° panorama of the most beautiful sites in Charente-Maritime!

Departing from Courçon, this gyrocopter flight over La Rochelle and the beaches and islands of the Vendée coast will give you the most beautiful panoramic views of the region. Aboard a gyrocopter, a class 4 microlight also known as an autogyro, you will enjoy your first flight between the Vendée and Charente-Maritime regions with an experienced pilot who will share his passion for microlight flying with you.

Depending on your choice, your gyrocopter flight from Courçon can last 20, 35 or 45 minutes, and will take you from the air to various major points of interest around La Rochelle: the Pertuis Breton, the bridge of the Ile de Ré, Fort Boyard, the Ile d'Oléron, the Ile d'Aix, the marshes at the mouth of the Sèvre Niortaise, and so on. Accompanied by the pilot's commentary on the sites you will be flying over, your gyrocopter flight in La Rochelle will be an experience you will remember for a long time, thanks in particular to the exceptional flying sensations provided by the gyrocopter!

Don't wait any longer to get into this microlight, which resembles a small helicopter, and admire the natural landscapes of the Vendée from a whole new angle as you fly over La Rochelle in a gyrocopter!
