Parachute jumping

How would you like to experience freefall at 200km/h over Le Havre and the Seine Bay?

From Le Havre / Octeville-sur-Mer airport, your buddy will welcome you and prepare you for the big jump. First step of the adventure, a video introduction with all the safety instructions, the equipment (overalls, harness, goggles or over-glasses for corrective lenses) before a ground rehearsal of the different phases of the jump.

As the only company in France to be ISO90001:2015-certified for organising and executing tandem skydiving jumps, Abeille Parachutisme covers every detail, and to prove it, its 85,000th tandem jump was made and celebrated in September 2019.

Le Havre, the cliffs of Etretat, Fécamp by plane

Before setting off, the skydiver for a day can enjoy the landscape (Deauville-Trouville beaches, Honfleur, Seine Bay, Cap d’Antifer, Etretat, Fécamp) during the 20-minute flight to reach an altitude of 3,300 metres.

Then it’s the moment of truth. Some people may wonder why they came? What mad idea went through their heads?

But now it’s too late. Harnessed to your partner, the free fall at 200km/h lasting 35 to 45 seconds can finally begin…

At 1500 metres, your partner opens the parachute to spend another 5 to 6 minutes floating through the air before a soft landing with the pilot at the controls.
