The hot air balloon festival in Rocamadour is an annual event that takes place in the last weekend of September. The sky above Rocamadour and the Canyon de l'Alzou will be filled with more than 30 hot air balloons of all kinds of types and sizes: cartoon and Disney characters, vehicles, buildings etc.
Program
On both Saturday and Sunday, a lot of events will be organised in and around Rocamadour. More than 20,000 French people and tourists visit this place every year to enjoy the spectacle.
