VIDEO. In Marseille, residents of the Joliette nursing home are introduced to indoor free flight
Life in an Ephad is often synonymous with routine and monotony. The residents of the Ehpad de la Joliette in Marseille prove the opposite. After having made their baptism of scuba diving, they are introduced to free fall indoors.
At over 80, Josette, Mireille and their friends live in the same Ehpad and share the same dream: to fly.
It must be said that they are no longer at their first dream realized within establishment. The latest was a baptism of scuba diving.
So this year it will be the wind tunnel flightthe term for indoor free fall.
Each year, the residents set themselves unusual sporting challenges, then the medical team accompanies them throughout their project.
At 74, Laetitia is the most reluctant to jump into the arena.
But once in the wind tunnel, well accompanied by Mario her guide, she will be the most comfortable. She will go upstairs.
You fly, you are a bird, you are a hummingbird. You’re in space… It’s better than an orgasm.
Flight diploma in hand, the residents of the nursing home have made a promise to come back.
