The entire experience was amazing. The staff we had also made it just so memorable thanks to Eddie, Flo and Anna we will have memories that will keep us laughing for years.

The balloon ride was cancelled due to bad weather as we were standing in the field where we were due to lift off. The crew was very apologetic and explained why it would be dangerous. My husband and I completely understand. However the crew members told us to call the main office to reschedule for the next day. When I called, the person who answered the phone was unhelpful and rude. I was told that it was impossible to reschedule, that nothing could be done, and would not take our names and phone numbers so someone else could help us. French customer service is very poor.

I thought the pilots and crew were great. Very professional and skilled. I have no issue with that aspect of the trip. But I was severely disappointed we didn't fly closely over any lavender fields. We are in Provence during the height of lavender season and It's in your photo on this site!!! I was hoping to experience seeing the fields from overhead. Didn't know it was just the towns. You should make that clear in your description. Can't give it a high rating for that reason.

Very well organized and professional. Felt safe at every time. A fantastic experience which can only be recommended. Start was at 04.45am and we were in the air for 59 minutes. Back to the hotel in time for breakfast and a full day of other activities.

Excellent day out. The team were friendly, fun and professional. Highly recommended. We would do it again.

All the staff on the day of the flight were fantastic , it was an amazing experience. If I could give advice, way too many emails in advance , and a map detailing pick up point would be good . As finding said pick up in the dark at 5.30 am isn’t easy , Regards Pete & Roe

We had a scenic flight over a beautiful area of Provence. The balloon operator was very thorough in safety measures and told us about the river we flew over and the different scenic towns. At the end we saw several lavender fields and even landed the balloon next to a lavender field. The flight started with a lovely breakfast while balloons were being prepped and finished with sparkling wine at the end. I loved how local rose syrup and local lavender syrup were brought to add to the beverages. What an amazing morning... and all before 9 am!

James E

Very nice people. They made sure we knew how to get there and they gave plenty of refreshments. It is a lot of physical activity at the end!

Paris Montgolfière sells tickets, everywhere: on their website, Tripadvisor, Facebook. They sell. But is their goal to allow you to use their ticket?... With COVID, it has become impossible to find a date on a weekend, except 6 months in advance. Knowing that they close in April, you really need almost a year in advance. Of course, you can extend the date by one year. It's 35€ more per person. So, when you buy your ticket on the internet, you don't realize that it is unusable, except on a Thursday at 3pm. Do you work? Too bad for you! They are cashing in, and that's what counts! Is this an abuse situation? Not according to their terms and conditions. So they continue! A piece of advice: don't trust them!
