5/5
Unfortunately I don't speak French and my pilot didn't speak much English, but it wasn't that necessary! The flight lasted about 30 minutes and we flew at around 2500ft and 120kph. Its quite breath taking being in such a small contraption at such height! You can see a long way and have unobstructed views with the glass window and doors.
