🪂 My First Skydive It was my very first skydive. I had paid for my ticket in 2025, but I was so scared to jump that I waited until almost the end of its validity period before finally deciding to go. And honestly… I should have gone much sooner! The BIG’AIR PARACHUTISME team was absolutely fantastic. Their welcome, their communication, and the way they put you at ease were truly exceptional. They were with me from start to finish, always with kindness and professionalism. Yes, it took me a long time to jump because I was scared, but I have never met such a reassuring and friendly team. Thanks to them, I was able to fully enjoy the experience: the view was incredible, and the flight time was simply extraordinary. I definitely plan to go back, this time with my friends and family. And I certainly won't wait a year to do it again: I'll go straight back, without hesitation!

I completed my Accelerated Freefall (AFF) course with Big Air Parachutisme. The welcome was fantastic, the instructors were super passionate, and there was a great atmosphere within the club. I highly recommend this skydiving club.

Excellent, the training and atmosphere are top-notch! I recommend it for Accelerated Freefall (AFF) courses and tandem jumps, etc.

For my 70th birthday, I was given a parachute jump over the Charente with my son and it was an unforgettable gift. After passing the stress of the rocker from the aircraft door in the vacuum, I felt...
