Hot-air ballooning Midi-Pyrénées

Every year, at the end of September, the sky of Rocamadour is invaded by large multicoloured spheres. This impressive European gathering of hot-air balloons attracts about thirty machines. On the programme, the flight over the Causses and the Dordogne valley is admired by thousands of tourists and local residents, who are amazed at each edition. A flea market takes place on the second day of the event, as well as various animations in the streets and on the road leading to the castle.

On the program: hot air balloon flights, kite workshops and a multitude of demonstrations, as well as a musical component with barrel organs. The Sky and Wind Festival honors everything that uses air. Villemur invites you to take a deep breath! Come and meet passionate balloonists and let yourself be carried away by the poetry of the world of Aeolus... Various concerts and musical atmospheres around the breath of air in all its forms!

Like a bird, take the height, with two people, or in a basket of ten people. The Cerdanya seen from above whatever the season is of an insolent beauty. Experienced pilots will help you discover, in complete safety, the fabulous mountain landscapes as the wind blows from one massif to another, while crossing the border of the Pyrenees freely. A wonderful gift to offer or to share for superb photos and unforgettable memories!

With two take-off sites in Occitania - one in the Tarn, 20 minutes from Toulouse; and the other in Aveyron, near Lake Pareloup- Atmosph'air proposes to take you up to heaven. Created in 2010 by pilot Laurent Pailhous, this unique airline company has three hot air balloons in its fleet to fly over the most beautiful villages and sites in both departments. The trip lasts one hour and ends with the Toast of the balloonist, a snack with Occitan flavours.
