The company was founded in 1990 in Paris, France and was one of the earliest manufacturers of paramotors. Their products have been widely sold and achieved a good safety record.
Bertrand et al said of the company in 2003:
{{Quotation|Adventure have been around since the beginning of paramotor development. They try to apply professional logic to a discipline which is growing little by little. Beginners will find a well packaged product with no unpleasant surprises. Their paramotor design is a totally well thought out package of engine, wing and backpack. There is a good variety to meet everyone’s needs including a small, surprisingly lightweight, easy to fly trike unit which can be adapted for use with more powerful engines.}}
