Overview of the Loire Valley and its castles in Hot Air Balloon
Overview
Experience the emotion of a hot air balloon flight.
Discover the Loire and its castles in a different way at sunrise or sunset. Where the colors are most beautiful.
Seen from above, the landscapes are different! The hot air balloon brings a breath of new sensations.
Fly over the exceptional Loire Valley to discover its riches. Admire its royal river as well as its castles (Chambord, Chenonceau, Cheverny, Blois or Chaumont sur Loire) aboard our Ballons. You will be seduced by the calm and relaxing silence.
An unforgettable adventure of about an hour in the sky awaits you. Feel like a bird above the sandy shores of the Loire, look far away at the vines, surprise the awakening of the fauna...
The Loire Valley is considered to be “the garden of France” thanks to its remarkable concentration of monumental buildings. This is why this region is classified as a world heritage site by UNESCO.
