Why are we talking about this ?

Because Icarnaval took place on September 24, in Saint-Hilaire-du-Touvet and Lumbin, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

150 costumed participants

Every year, the Icarus cup brings together fans of free flight (paragliding, hang gliding, hot air ballooning, etc.). On the program: air shows, first flights, entertainment… But the funniest moment, It’s Icarnival! This year, 150 people participated in this costume contest in the air.

Be careful when taking off!
