Flight on August 27, 2023. Super nice team, passionate people who don't hesitate to explain and involve us in the balloon preparation. Luckily, we were able to admire the Chenonceau castle, the Cher river, wild animals. It was really great 🤩 thanks to you 😉

Even as a former professional pilot, and therefore used to flying, I experienced unknown sensations; and my curiosity was satisfied; the site of Chenonceau is very particularly touristic and the interest in this regard was great.
