Ballons Pirates
Ballons Pirates creates paper sky lanterns that are all unique, authentic and biodegradable. These three adjectives accurately describe the values of this group, which considers the freedom of expression of flying and cultural openness to be fundamental to their profession. One of the highlights of the event is the moment the constructors launch their flying works of art from the take-off field.
