Hi

They also do a lot of hangliding from the top of the Puy de Dome, near Clermont Ferrand.

Lots, too, from Millau - and he could get to hang-glide over the Millau viaduct.  There are lots of campsites down in the valley bottom, some adjacent to the 'landing-strip' where most flyers land.

Four sites in Millau accept the ACSI card (www.campingcard.com) - meaning a pitch for two, car and tent or caravan, awning and electric hook-up,  would cost just 11 euros at Les Erables, 13 euros at Cote Sud and Millau Plage and 15 euros at Les Rivages.

It's a fantastic place for active people, too, with plenty of canoeing down the Tarn or the Dourbie, and some quite strenuous walking around the valley and cliffs of the Tarn Gorge.  Also plenty of wildlife - birds of prey everywhere, vultures overhead in the campsites in Millau or the Tarn Gorge, beavers in the river, and we've seen a wild boar in that area too. 

You can tell it's one of my favourite areas and one we go back to.
