Takeoff description
North -also good with NW and NE. Often there is a West component, so the TO is in the lee: watch the different windspies very closely, turn immediately left after launching. To get there: 7 KM to TO: From Luc-en-Diois follow direction Gap (south); after the big rocks and the Drome river bridge, turn right (signs: 'site d'envol'). After 2 Km you will see a sign and an unpaved road on your left, follow it till the end.
