Every year, the Rassemblement de Montgolfières (gathering of hot air
balloons) brings balloonists from all over the world to partake in a
three-day ballooning celebration in Le Puy-en-Velay (in central France in
Auvergne) during the Armistice holiday.
Le Puy en Velay, is a perfect venue with ideal conditions for ballooning and
is world renowned for its picturesque volcanic rocks. The 40 or so
balloonists gather for this non-competitive event but everyone is invited as
spectators. You can watch the colorful puffy balloons while sipping local
wines and sampling the yummy cheeses that makes France France.
