What you can expect

  • Take to the skies: First flight in an autogyro microlight in the Cotentin Peninsula
    Enjoy a unique flying experience departing from Lessay Aerodrome (50). The gyroplane, a true “convertible of the skies,” offers you 360° visibility and exceptional stability to discover the treasures of the English Channel as you have never seen them before.

    Your adventure in three stages:

    1. Ground briefing
      Upon your arrival, we will get to know each other. I will explain how the autogyro works – a fascinating machine that is somewhere between an aeroplane and a helicopter. We'll go over the safety briefing and go through your flight plan together. Now is the time to get kitted out and settle in comfortably.

    2. The Flight: A 40-kilometer radius of pure wonder
      Once you're airborne, the show begins. Within a 25-mile (40-kilometer) radius of Lessay, the Cotentin Peninsula reveals its wild diversity:

    Coastline and gastronomy: Fly over the famous oyster and mussel farms, true maritime chequerboards sculpted by the tides.

    Historical heritage: Marvel at the imposing silhouette of Pirou Castle and the iconic beach huts with colourful roofs in Gouville-sur-Mer.

    Natural areas: Cross the majestic Baie des Veys and the vastness of the Marais de Carentan, before flying along the endless sandy beaches that line the coast.

    1. The Debriefing
      After a gentle touchdown, we'll take the time to discuss your impressions. This is an opportunity to share your feelings, ask questions about the landscapes you flew over and, of course, collect your souvenir photos or videos to capture the moment.
