What To Expect

There are many places where you may fly by hot air balloon, but a flight in the Loire Valley, France, is one of the top 10 things to do in this beautiful country.

You will overfly at least one of the most beautiful castles in France: Amboise, Chenonceau, Chinon, Chaumont sur Loire. All these castles are inseparable from the history of France and its kings.

Hot air balloon flights are organized every morning and evening, if weather permits, from April to October. 

Balloon tours usually start in the early mornings (at about 6:00 to 9:00 a.m.) and evenings (from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.). A balloon flight lasts for about 1 hour, but the entire process takes about 3–4 hours. 

After a flight, a small degustation of local products (wine, cheese, and sweets) will be offered, and then you will be "baptized" by a deep ballooning tradition; you will be granted baptizing names and titles, as well as the first flight certificates. Then our pilot will bring you back in a 4x4 car to the meeting or take-off site.
