Our hot air balloon flights in small groups will give you the impression of being alone in the world in the middle of majestic landscapes. You will discover the Vexin Natural Park and Val d'Oise in a way that few has been able to see so far, and see the same landscapes as the Impressionists like Monet, for an inspiring day!
Take-off area
We take off within a 30-minute drive from the town of Chérence depending on the weather conditions. If you are in Giverny, we can also pick you up there.
You will pass over the magnificent forests of the Vexin Natural Park and can even see the surroundings of Paris.
Balloon departure
This ride takes place from a total number of 2 participants. If too few participants have registered for the booked date, we will contact you and arrange a suitable alternative.
Ride programme
- Before take-off:
We meet 1h after sunrise for the morning flight and 2hrs before sunset for the evening flight. We will then take you in our comfortable 4x4 to the best take-off area depending on the weather conditions. Then it is time to prepare and inflate the balloon sail with hot air. We will then brief you on how the flight will take place and the right movements during the flight.
- During the ride:
We will take off as soon as your pilot is ready, for a flight of about 1h over the area. According to the pilot releasing air in the sail, we will raze the tops of the trees or climb up to several hundred meters for a breathtaking view. You can also bring your camera.
- After landing:
After this perfect hour, we will land safely (you will just have to squat down for safety reasons). Once we get out of the basket, we will have a toast to celebrate our status as balloonists. Our team will then drive you back to our meeting point.
