The tandem jump: what to know
The centres named in listings are at Péronne: allow two to three hours by road from Paris. Conditions vary: 40 kg minimum, 90 to 100 kg maximum depending on the centre, and one source asks for a medical certificate less than 6 months old. The jump depends on the weather and can be postponed: book with a flexible date. If you want another trip into the air, see a hot air balloon in Paris; to unwind afterwards, see Thai massage; for a family activity, see Paris with kids.
