Make a baptism during the hot air balloon festival
It is quite possible (subject to good weather conditions of course)! To do this, you must contact the pilots directly and tell them that you want to fly during the festival.
And for the curious who have questions about flights, we answer to all your questions
If you are not in for the baptism, you can watch the flights on those days from Parc Déomas.
The night glow: a magical moment
Imagine, a Magic moment during which several hot air balloons light up to music! It's the highlight of the festival, a spectacle that will make both adults and children dream.

Hot air balloon flights
You had to be brave and get up early in the morning, or wait until the end of the day to watch the hot air balloon takeoffs. Several balloons took to the skies above Annonay, including the new town pink balloon which gives a bright touch of color and makes us see life through rose-tinted glasses!
