Two men were killed in the fall of their ULM on Friday in the town of Grayan-et-l'Hôpital (Gironde), we learned this Saturday from the gendarmerie.
The aircraft crashed in the middle of the afternoon in a wooded area near the ocean, according to the same source.
The area is particularly inaccessible, the emergency services even had to be hoisted to arrive on site.
The investigation was entrusted to the air transport gendarmerie to determine the causes of the accident.
This did not cause collateral damage, said the gendarmerie.
According to
Sud Ouest
, the ULM had left La Rochelle and was probably trying to reach the Landes, further south.
