Annecy on Google Maps.
In France, the technological development of sails, harnesses, carabiners and the growth of interest for the paragliding, have increased the presence of "students" in schools empowered to grant patents flight. In Annecy, ideal place to fly due to air currents present along the coasts of the lake, are born training centers to practice, in security, the free flight. Good will and initiative, have made that a sport practiced by a few people has become, in a short time, a sport for everyone.
