A lovely experience above Saumur. The balloon goes up and stays geostationary. We would have liked to move around more.

Our reservation with "Arts Montgolfières" through your intermediary was registered without any problem. But I can't tell you more because of the bad weather we couldn't make the flight. 3 cancellations this week. So we'll do it later with better weather!
