"Where Dreams Take Flight”

Nothing rivals the power of Mass Ascensions of the Lorraine Mondial Air Ballons on beautiful summerset evenings as these graceful giants leave the ground to take their place in the wonderful sky “Where Dreams Take Flight”. For ballooning fans worldwide, the Lorraine Mondial Air Ballons is a pilgrimage.

There’s something for everyone to enjoy…whimsical special shapes filled with equal parts of hot air and wonder, and balloon glows that create a magical night landscape for guests to wander. No matter who you are, these balloons will leave you awestruck and wanting more.

 

The most international hot-air balloon gathering in the world is held, in Lorraine (France) , in the heart of Lorraine's Nature Park since 1989 (and on this aerodrome since 1993), every other year, for ten days. An original concept, proven for over twenty years, which has become the greatest event in France, Europe and worldwide. The number of balloons is about 1000! Truly a very impressive event……
