Living in Nyon took to the air on Tuesday with pilot Marcel Briand to get a bird's eye view of Paléo and of the town of Nyon. Take a look at these photos of the festival, the stages and the campsite which were taken early in the afternoon. There are not too many people near the main stage at this time - a complete contrast to the evening when the area is packed with music lovers, particularly so on Thursday night for both the Dub and Santana concerts. Review of Thursday coming up.
Also below see photos of Nyon from above, the castle, the boats in the harbour and check out the colour of the lake!

Behind the scenes of the Les Arches stage. See the infrastructure needed to put on a concert! Apologies for the not-so sharp-images. It's not easy keeping the camera still when you are high up in a plane and leaning out over the scene in the wind!
