Flying with Birds: When Dreams take flight in the wild heart of Auvergne

Have you ever dreamt of touching the clouds, gliding alongside winged creatures, experiencing the absolute freedom that only flight can offer? Auvergne from the sky promises you thrilling sensations and unforgettable emotions.

It is here, in the vast expanses of the Cantal, in Southern Auvergne, that a well-kept secret lies: an encounter with nature in its purest and most majestic form. Inspired by the renowned ethologist Konrad Lorenz, Christian Moullec has dedicated his life to flying with migratory birds. As early as 1995, aboard his specially adapted motorized delta-plane, he began accompanying these magnificent creatures with a noble goal: raising awareness for bird protection and reintroducing endangered species. He became a “bird” among birds, guiding their migratory paths and offering a unique perspective on their existence.

Today, based in the Cantal, this pioneer invites you to share in this extraordinary adventure. Imagine: the rising sun painting the Cantal mountains, Europe’s largest volcano, with watercolor hues. Around you, geese fly in formation, their graceful flight enveloping you. The pilot, an expert in species biology, reveals the secrets of these flying companions. Time, as if suspended, fades away in the face of the immensity and natural beauty of these landscapes.

This is more than just a flight; it’s a deep connection with wildlife, a moment of pure contemplation and wonder. A truly immersive experience that will awaken your senses and forever etch this unforgettable memory into your mind. Ready to take flight?

Extend the Dream: The Film “Spread Your Wings”

To prolong the magic or to better understand this extraordinary experience, we invite you to discover the film “Spread Your Wings” (original title “Donne-moi des ailes”) by Nicolas Vanier.
Inspired by the true story of Christian Moullec, this feature film will immerse you in an exceptional human and natural adventure, a perfect prelude to your own flight over Auvergne.
