What you can expect

  • Enjoy an unforgettable hot air balloon experience over the Châteaux of the Loire, departing from Chaumont-sur-Loire.
    Let the winds carry you and discover the landscapes of the UNESCO World Heritage Loire Valley from a unique perspective.

    Unlike an airplane, a hot air balloon flies freely with the air currents. Your professional pilot uses the different altitudes to find the most favorable winds and guide the balloon.
    Each flight is therefore unique: no route is ever the same.

    Activity schedule:

    After being welcomed, you will go to the take-off site where you will witness the spectacular inflation of the balloon before boarding for a flight of about an hour. Depending on the day's conditions, you will be able to admire at least one of the famous Loire Valley Castles such as Blois, Chaumont-sur-Loire, Amboise, Chenonceau, and Chambord, or the Loire, the vineyards, the typical villages, and more.

    Upon landing, you can help stow the balloon if you wish, then join in the balloonist's traditional toast before receiving your first flight certificate.
    You will then be driven back to the meeting point by vehicle.

    Whether it's for a marriage proposal, a birthday, a gift, or simply to enjoy one of the most beautiful experiences in France, a hot air balloon ride over the Loire Valley Castles will be an unforgettable souvenir.
