Big Blue

With 2 years of experience as a hot air balloon pilot, Natacha is first and foremost a festival regular. Her passion for ballooning began in her childhood in Saint-Jean, where her father would take her to the festival every year. She never missed a single edition, and whenever she had the chance, she would say, “One day, I’m going to be the one flying.”

At 14, she began volunteering as a chase crew member. She devoted 15 years of her life to this role, even using her summer vacations to attend the festival, all while dreaming of becoming a pilot. At 26, she bought her own balloon, and at 29, she officially became a pilot.
