Flying with birds

Fancy a magical, volcanic Auvergne? Christian Moullec invites you to discover it from the sky, in a hot-air balloon or, even more intimately, in a microlight with wild geese. It’s an experience like no other, just a 30-minute drive from the ecolodge.

Since 1995, inspired by the work of the famous Austrian ethologist Konrad Lorenz and thanks to his extensive knowledge of the world of birds, Christian has been flying with birds. His initial aim was to raise awareness of the need to protect migratory birds and to reintroduce the Lesser White-fronted Goose to Sweden. Here, he invites you to realise that dream of flying which has always been a human dream. As the rising sun casts watercolour hues over Europe’s largest volcano, the pilot explains the biology of the species flying with you. Time seems to stand still as you gaze up at the Cantal mountains.

Every day from May to October (weather permitting), by prior arrangement.
