Hot-air baloon in the Luberon
Up and over the Luberon

Dawn in the Luberon



Another baloon is playing hide-and-seek with us above the Luberon, between the village and the pine forest facing it.


Here, Nature has taken on the colors of ochre. First of all, the quarries offer a gradation of yellow, orange and reddish-brown. Then, the farmers have prepared their land for its winter rest. The shadow of the baloon caresses the voluptuously ploughed fields, to move on to an army of cherry trees softly shaking their clusters of autumnal orange leaves as they're kissed by the easterly wind.

 

Towards the east, we can glimpse the Mont Ventoux and villages of Rustrel and Saint-Saturnin d'Apt. We are now climbing at 4 metres per second. Jacques knows the Luberon, its places and people. "Ten years ago, we could still catch sight of deer and wild boars, now, they make themselves scarce!". These dyas there is another sort of style. In Lacoste, you can still admire the Marquis de Sade's château, but also the properties of famous actors and producers, political figures,who have all besieged this small patch of the Luberon, seasonal decentralisation, of course! It's incredible what you observe from above! This morning it's an English lady whom the aeronaute knows well and who waves to us from her garden, still in her night gown and wearing a nightcap with a pink pompom.
