English speaking skydivers in France

[spinjob 0]

Hi All, I'm new to dropzone and thought id use it to meet fellow skydivers to jump with. I moved to France about 4 months ago and have started getting back into skydiving. Unfortunately i don't speak French other than the odd word or number here and there. I'm finding it rather difficult at the drop zones as I'm not able to ask questions of people, or to clearly manifest myself without looking like an idiot.

I did my AFF in Arizona about a year and a half ago, got my A license, then ran out of money due to loosing my job. now that i have another job and have settled in, I'm able to finance my jumps and want to get out there and have fun.

I did 3 jumps last weekend with a coach to get myself back up to speed and licensed in France. Now I'm "cut loose" to jump on my own....but I'd rather meet some people, have some laughs, and get some guidance around the DZ rather than stand there on my own and do nothing but solo jumps. If anyone's jumping in the south of France or Spain who could recommend any English speaking DZ's or jumpers id really appreciate it.

Cheers

No help on where to jump, but I'd suggest you learn French as quickly as you can. If you find a local who speaks some English, you might can start figuring out at least skydiving French.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)
