The Beaujolais from the sky: a unique landscape waiting to be discovered

Your first hot-air balloon ride begins at dawn, the ideal time to enjoy the best flying conditions. First, you’ll watch as the balloon is unfurled and inflated—an impressive process that showcases the technical expertise behind free flight.

After a safety briefing, it’s time to take off for about an hour of floating along with the winds. In almost complete silence, you’ll glide over the vineyard-covered hillsides, estates, forests, and traditional villages of the Rhône region.

The light of the sunrise enhances the landscapes of the Beaujolais region and offers spectacular panoramic views, particularly appreciated by photography enthusiasts. Each flight is unique and depends on air currents and the conditions of the day
