analysts that. we start off the show with a true flying adventure we're going to take to the sky with but you're not support that meghan travel to france to meet a real but christie only elect raises geese and other species of butt and then he teaches them how to fly with him maybe not got to share his passion and get. the french countryside. here in france it's possible to fly like a goose weather permitting ordinary tourists can take flight in an ultralight and enjoy an exhilarating experience over the french countryside. today i'm meeting christie who is a meteorologist by profession but has been a bird lover since childhood he began flying with them as part of a conservation project. i'll fix it with the last year when we really see doing

great with these birds in order to reintegrate them into nature to discuss some of the species disappeared because of hunting these are birds that were facing extinction because of hunting during winter you could get to do that when i came up with the idea of teaching a new generation of birds that were living in captivity to migrate to protected areas in the southwestern part of germany where they can spend the winter with. other animals also live in harmony with christians two hundred birds he tells me about the twelve different protected species on this farm in central france. who like flies at least once a day usually in the mornings with his birds before each flight he conducts a thorough check of his ultralight. there's so much different attention to when you're flying with birds you know are taught other pilots how to do it but they never really get. into it because i know how to watch the birds. are always on the

birds when i fly to make sure they don't get hurt. i don't think about pilot. the aircraft with. the g.'s meanwhile are tame but temperamental. so it's always been man's dream to fly and i'm not only going to take to the skies today like a bird i'm going to take to the skies with the birds like dogs going for a walk through the geese get excited about their flight. for good you're welcome on board ok well i'm volunteering in this case i think the helmet is wearing me for protection i'm not really sure by all know what to expect. if the bird can do it in coconut. movie at. and here we go after the initial shock of taking off right soon get into that sensation of soaring through the skies with

watching these birds fly absolutely incredible and thank you so much for one little plot that i'm not. you know what. back to you chris jones farm guests can retreat to one of the four tree houses he had custom built. he wants his visitors to really connect with nature. close morning i flew like a bird it's time to live like one each cabin is comfortably outfitted with a bed bathroom and deck with a view of the countryside. everything you see and smell hear is natural and that's good for us people who come here every year to stay in the cabins and fly with the birds want to reconnect with nature and reboost their energy to do that.

after experiencing christians life for a day i too am ready to one wind. wow what a day this is been and quite a day or first for me first our first flight in an ultra life flying with birds and now my first time staying in a treehouse so for me it's goodbye for now. for we're going to go to the sky. and as the day comes to an end i can still feel the wind beneath my wings. what a fantastic experience and now kind of like megan and you think we're going to fly around here to get a quick update on some other news. france has been farewell to show for a national ceremony in paris the singer died on monday at the age of ninety four.
