Paragliding and hang gliding at the legendary site of Mont Gros at Roquebrune over looking Monaco on the south coast of France, has been temporarily suspended.
Back in early March 2011 XCmag.com reported that flying activities were on shaky ground after several serious accidents, one of which led to a fatality.
