This friendly and tactical competition invites glider pilots to “visit” as many of the 160 selected castles as possible, flying in a 5 km circle around each monument, with a bonus for the photos taken. Among the emblematic objectives, places like Mont Saint-Michel, Fort Boyard and Guédelon offer additional points.
The competition is divided into two classes: “plastic” and “vintage” gliders, each category having its own selection of castles to fly over. The gliders are entered as aircraft, allowing for rotation of pilots on the same glider, with a maximum of 12 pilots for a two-seater, promoting learning and cross-country flights.
