00:00 You may have noticed it this morning, a manned flight overflew the south of the city of Tours, and TV Tour was on board.
00:07 This is the only manned airshow in France.
00:10 After the overflight of Chenonceau, the Air Touraine company will now offer manned flights above the city of Tours.
00:16 A 20-minute ride up to 200 meters above sea level.
00:20 The departure is made at the Gloriette Park. Lea Turquier tested for you with Clemence Dosc.
00:26 I'm at the Gloriette Park. It's still early in the morning, the sun hasn't risen yet, and I'm about to do a manned flight.
00:34 But the first step is the inflating.
00:36 After 45 minutes of preparation, it's time to take off on board the only manned airshow in France.
00:53 The airshow is a pilot's dream.
00:56 There's a sense of silence. It's like you're flying over the air.
01:08 And there's a balloon above us, so it's quite pretty.
01:11 The difference with the airshow is that you can steer yourself, and you have a 180-degree view, 360-degree view.
01:16 You can look everywhere, so that's what's pretty.
01:19 The flight lasts about 20 minutes. It's very smooth.
01:22 When you're inside, you have a view of the whole city of Tours and the Gloriette Park.
01:28 It's a moment suspended in the air and in time.
01:31 40 meters long, a maximum speed of 25 km/h, the immersion is total for this first start of the season.
01:38 The airshow can accommodate three people.
01:42 The pilot can stand up to 200 meters above the ground.
01:49 The big advantage is that you can attract disabled people, people with disabilities, people who have a lot of difficulty walking.
01:56 Why? Because it's something that you're sitting on.
01:59 You're attached to it. It's on tires, so when you land, it's really, really soft.
02:03 You really feel like you're on eggs.
02:05 We're opening the season with this flight this morning.
02:08 I hope there will be lots of other flights this year.
02:12 The flight costs €259 for the southern flight of Tours and €289 for the southern flight of Chenonceau.
02:18 A price for an unprecedented experience in the search of its audience.
