From takeoff to landing, this was a terrific experience. We look to sunrise flight and it was beautiful! Pierre and his crew were fantastic. It surpassed all of our expectations. We loved how everyone gets involved with the setup and breakdown of the ballon. The champagne 🍾 upon landing was a great touch. We’ll definitely do this again.

We flew directly over the Chateau de Chenonceau...amazing! The crew are very professional! We had a cloudy morning ride we were kept lower for better visibility. We flew over trees, heard the roosters crow and saw the horses restlessness when the pilot ignited the flame. Worth the long drive from Marne La Vallee to knock this off the bucket list!

Must do experience. Check it off your bucket list. Tranquil and surreal. Wonderful crew. I don't like heights and I stilled loved this.

The organization and communications were flawless. Our pilot Pierre spoke excellent English. The ground crew were friendly and efficient. We flew in the evening on a beautiful day with little wind. I had expected to be buffeted about more, but the flight itself was smoother than any mode of transport I have ever experienced. You landing is bound to be bumpy however! A group toast with a local sparkling wine (or juice or water) served as a charming dénouement to the adventure.

What a thrill floating over the Loire region on our first balloon flight! It was a beautiful fall evening and the last balloon ride of the season. Thierry, the Pilot, and his team were on time at the meeting point and professional in the set up of the balloon. It was very helpful that the Pilot knew English. The large basket on this flight held 16 including the Pilot. The highlight was floating over the Chateau Chenonceau; it was interesting looking down on it from high above. Our flight lasted approximately and hour and fifteen minutes. We set down very gently (the basket stayed in an upright position) in a harvested sorghum field. Then everyone was asked to pitch in to help the crew gather, tie the balloon and load it into the trailer. This was a total surprise to my daughter and I; however, it may have been explained in French on their website. The balloon was heavy and we didn't wear the correct shoes for this task and my age prevented me from being much help. We ended the evening with a champagne toast (orange juice for the thee children) and received a Certificate of Assention.
