About Fréjus International Air Festival
Every year, the Festival International de l'Air brings together kite flyers from across the globe at the Base Nature François Léotard, the former naval air base in Fréjus. Giant kites, aerial ballets, and acrobatic competitions take place right by the sea, alongside workshops for children and environmental awareness activities. Established in 1997, this event has become one of the largest kite gatherings in France.
