Click this image to pop-up a slide show of the hoit air balloons at Rocamadour

23rd Montgolfiades - Rocamadour
Talk about those magnificent men in their flying machines! What an amazing sight... we and several thousand others, watched in awe as balloon after balloon rose precariously from the narrow valley bottom, up past the wooded slopes and cliff sides of the Alzou, to soar into the bright azure blue sky. It was the the 23rd Montgolfiades and, unlike last year when it was cancelled at the last minute, it did not disappoint.

Sit back and enjoy a Quick-Tour slide show of this hot air ballon event, by clicking the image above or this link.
