PB Helicopters, flights to Royan

We present to you PB Helicopters , the flight professional in Royan in Charente-Maritime.

Philippe Beaufils, a rotary wing enthusiast

Philippe is the boss of PB Hélicoptères, after 10 years of career as an electrician and electrotechnician he decided to settle down and exercise his passion in what he calls "flying chairs ". The idea came to him in 2001, after a stay in Madagascar during which he had the pleasure of flying aboard an Alouette 2 Aztasou . At the time, its base was none other than a field located between Meschers and Talmont-sur-Gironde then later at the Château de Didonne. Thanks to his success, he built a hangar on the Royan-Médis aerodrome and has five helicopters.

Charente-Maritime from the sky

For Philippe, being in a helicopter is a real feeling of freedom , he can observe everything from his cockpit and can even see the rotor without anything obstructing his view. It is very important for him to see the landscape because his region Royan Atlantique is "extraordinary". During a flight, you can observe all the monuments of the agglomeration such as:

  • the port of Royan
  • Cordouan lighthouse
  • the caves of Meschers-sur-Gironde
  • the Seudre marshes
