Ecole de Parapente Haut les Mains

Awakening minds and pushing limits with the magic of pedagogy
Son of a father who was a teacher and principal, grandson of a grandmother who ran a school in Saint André les Alpes and a mother who began her career as a teacher in Blieux, I was predestined to love teaching.
I love music, skiing, table tennis and flying. I created the paragliding school over 20 years ago, with the aim of integrating the 1856 family home belonging to my great-grandparents into a project to develop tourism in the village of Barrême within the paragliding industry.

I’m involved in the educational development of the Appi Fly federation.
I’ve set up a theoretical understanding and technical exercises for free flight on door openings, and how to get out of all flight incidents. I worked on piloting seated harnesses, fixed and mobile pelvis for better active safety. In short, I love working in a global pedagogical context, creating a starting point, objectives and setting up new exercises and theoretical courses.
I’ve developed this paragliding school by teaching beginner and advanced free flight, and I’ve had 2,500 students in this structure. Today I aspire to give quality teaching in specific areas, SIV Pilotage, Cross distance, Speed Flying, theory courses in person and by video, but also serve as a guide in the countries I know.
