Reader's Question—paramotor licence requirement

Alan Kendal writes:

I have a French license for paramotoring, i.e. I have the paramoteur class on my ULM license.

I am asked what 'license' is required for visiting English paramotor pilots. In England the paramotor is de-regulated but I have heard that having a certificate showing completion of a recognised training course is acceptable.

A recognised course includes weather, safety, theory of flight, airmanship and air law.

Is this certificate acceptable for visiting pilots flying in France?
