Comment
This token features a dirigible balloon, a glider, a hang-glider and Tallard castle.The skies over the Hautes-Alpes are a paradise for lovers of space and thrills. World-renowned for its aerological qualities, the département offers beginners, amateurs and professionals alike a real source of pleasure for aerial leisure activities, in a privileged mountain setting.
The highlight of the Fête de l'Air on the weekend of September 10 and 11, 2011: the Gordon Benett, the oldest aeronautical hot-air balloon race (since 1906, if you please), with 20 balloons from all over the world on the starting line with a simple objective: whoever goes the furthest with the gas and sand available on board wins the event.
