Ride programme
- Before take-off:
We welcome you at our office at the agreed time, and drive you to the ideal site for the day's flight. Our team will then deploy the hot air balloon, an impressive activity that you may be invited to take part in. After explaining the right attitude to have while in the air, we can take-off in a smooth way.
- During the ride:
Once in the air, you will have in front of you the Loire Valley and the magnificent castle near the take-off area. The pilot will use warm air to gain altitude and give you the best possible overview, or descend as close as possible to the top of the trees. Those things would be impossible to do with other aircraft!
- After landing:
At the end of this flight hour, we will land smoothly and the rest of our ground crew will join us for a toast worthy of this memorable flight! We will then drive you back to the rendezvous point, with your head full of memories.
