Lake Annecy, in Haute-Savoie, is known for its magnificent landscapes. The France Télévisions teams met an acrobat dancer there, suspended in the air. She exercises her talent with poetry above the lake.
This is the story of an encounter between Laurie yverdancer-acrobat, and two paraglider pilots in search of new sensations. Together, they realized the crazy dream of a flight suspended above Lake Annecy (Haute-Savoie). “It’s adrenaline intravenously and feeling like you’re flying that’s huge,” describes the dancer-acrobat. “There’s a lot of inertia, so as soon as we get a little closer to the relief, we have to anticipate so that Laurie doesn’t get too close to the relief”, indicates Theo Aubedaudprofessional pilot.
This experience over the air, they immortalized it in a film that went around the web. The images were taken from another paraglider, piloted by Antoine Cabiac. “It was not so easy to stall because Theo’s sink rate was very important with Laurie. It created a lot of drag and therefore, each time, I had to readapt with the photographer to get the tips”, he says.
