“Lâchez tout!” – pilot, crew and organiser on one map

Why Lachez

Once a balloon is inflated, people hold it down by the basket and the ropes. The pilot waits for the right moment, then calls: « Lâchez tout ! », “Let go of everything!”. French aeronauts have launched this way since the 19th century, and the command is still used today. The crew lets go, the pilot flies. That is what Lachez connects: pilots, crews, organisers and spectators around one balloon, from launch command to landing.
