The Grand Est Mondial Air Ballons (Gemab) will be able to take off again. Its founder, who retired, managed to find a buyer, allowing the event to return in 2025.

The Lorraine company specializing in events, ABC Group, is taking over the adventure. The Gemab brings together hundreds of aeronauts every two years in Chambley-Bussières, near Metz. The event, which welcomed half a million spectators last year, is popular for its online takeoffs, where hundreds of balloons take to the air.
