Enjoy a hot-air balloon ride over the Loire Valley— also known as “the Garden of France”—aboard a hot-air balloon.

Discover the Loire Valley castles from the sky!

The Loire Valley castles, the Loire Valley itself, and the vast forests dotted with ponds in the Sologne region offer a spectacular view from the sky! You can take off from various castles—Cheverny, Blois, Chaumont-sur-Loire, Chenonceau, or Chambord—depending on wind direction.

Flight itinerary:

Check-in: Meet your pilot.
Inflating the balloon: unfolding the fabric on the ground and raising it into the sky, learning the art of hot-air ballooning and its unique aspects.
Board the basket to take off for a flight lasting about 1 hour.
Itinerary: The wind alone determines the balloon’s direction. All you have to do is enjoy the panoramic views and share this experience with your loved ones!
A gentle landing after your pilot has deflated the hot-air balloon.
Arrival: You’ll then be picked up and driven back to the starting point in a 4x4.

There’s nothing better than enjoying a hot-air balloon ride to admire the wonders of the Loire Valley!
