Video: New hot air balloon record set in France with spectacular scenes

Homenews

It's not 99 red balloons, it's even better.

433 hot air balloons took over 4 miles of airspace last weekend as they broke the world record for the most amount of hot air balloons launched at the same time. The record was made at an airbase in Eastern France and a few unusual balloons were in attendance including a French chateau, a magnum of champagne and the French comic character Obelix. It was a very scenic affair.   https://youtu.be/seW-O2KkiEo Clip via Bart Lapers
