Boulevard des envolées

Located right in front of the take-off field, this is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the world of hot-air ballooning. Although hot-air balloons are a source of wonder for young and old alike, they remain a mystery. Come and experience up close the deployment and inflation of the balloons before they take off.

‼️ Important
For safety reasons, certain restrictions apply. Pregnant women, people with back problems, heart problems, under 1.2 m tall or under the influence of drugs or alcohol are not allowed to take part in a balloon flight.

Group Booking

You must complete a single transaction for all passengers in your group. Please note that a hot air balloon basket can typically accommodate up to 4 people. If your group includes 4 or more passengers, you will be divided into smaller subgroups.

After Purchase

A few weeks before your flight, you will receive an email asking you to provide some information about the passengers, such as spoken language, weight, and age. This information is necessary to assign you to a hot air balloon.
