operates in Saint Andre - How is this? - Careful appreciation of the conditions and picking the right
time and conditions to fly with the appropriate skill level will mean you have
a superb time flying in Saint Andre.

rivers and rapids.
Sailing (hobbie cat and dinghy) is available on lake Castellane

We strongly recommend that you take a raft ride. This is
tremendous fun and a great day out for the family. We can help put you in
touch with various operators when you arrive.
The lake has an amazing cliff diving spot with jumps from 6ft
to 70ft.
