Each day, our group entered the non-public “Ballonville Partenaire” and made our way to the press marquee. On signing in, we were handed our red bibs and then freely allowed to wander all of the site to our hearts desire.
On our first arrival on Saturday afternoon, that days Aerofil newsletter said that 230 balloons had launched on the previous night. We were also informed that Saturday morning had seen a good launch too, so we waited around hopefully as the wind was still quite strong.
It died down around 8pm and that allowed us to strike lucky with our very first opportunity. Around 260 were launched and the log and photograph link follow;
