LIFT OFF 2008

WIN A HOT AIR BALLOON FLIGHT FOR TWO WITH FRANCE MONTGOLFIERES
competition.jpg
Capture the romance of Burgundy by taking a balloon flight over the picturesque villages and stately châteaux, skimming across the wheat fields and maybe even touching the clouds. France Montgolfières, the largest balloon operator in France, is offering burgundytoday readers the chance to win a voyage of a lifetime for two people.
The flight takes off near V!zelay, one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Burgundy, famous for its Basilica. As balloons fly when the weather is cool and calm, take off is just after dawn, or about two hours before sunset when the light is at its best. You will fly for about an hour, and in true French style, enjoy a celebratory glass of bubbly on landing. Who knows what you will see en route: maybe the deer in the forest, nuns scurrying to vespers, barges on the Canal du Nivernais, an eagle catching its prey. This is an adventure, as you float along with the wind.
And you will be in good hands, France Montgolfières have been operating in Burgundy for over twenty years under French air transport regulations.
If you would like to enter this prize draw to win a hot air balloon flight for two people from V!zelay, answer the following question:

a) The Wright Brothers
