Founded in 1957 by Henri André, who led it for over forty years until his passing in 2002, the Para Groupe Jean Bart is one of the oldest skydiving associations in the region, now based at Calais-Marck Airport. This non-profit organization, run entirely by passionate volunteers, offers tandem jumps, including adapted jumps for people with disabilities, as well as training courses to progress towards independence (Accelerated Freefall, Accelerated Freefall) and discover the various disciplines of skydiving, from relative work to wingsuit flying. Jumps are performed from a Pilatus Porter PC-6 or a Caravan, for a thrilling experience to enjoy alone, with family, or with friends.
