Profile – Louis Vives
LOUIS VIVES
Can you introduce yourself in a few words?
My name is Louis, and I'm 26 years old. I've always lived around paragliders in La Forclaz, but I'd never been interested in the sport until one day I happened to work in the field, which made me want to learn.
When and how did you learn to paraglide?
I've learned to paraglide in 2018 at Passagers du vent in Talloires, where I was working as a driver.
How often do you go paragliding?
Do you have a special memory of flight to share with us?
One morning on a hike and fly, I took off with some friends on the East face of the Tournette. It was a not easy take off, windy and very impressive, once in the air we went up above the Tournette. The view was just magnificent, the flight very quiet, we headed to land in Talloires. This is the best way to get to work: a good time, no traffic jams, and a nice view before arriving at work.
What are your plans for the future (paragliding and other activities)?
I'd really like to become a paragliding instructor so I can teach, because I love it. I'd also like to try skydiving.
