Practical information

Course of events

- You will be welcomed by the pilot and his teammates to be driven to the take-off site determined by the wind. The appointment will be made either at dawn between 5 and 7 am to take off at sunrise, or at dusk between 5 and 7 pm to take off before sunset.

- You will then be introduced to the world of hot air ballooning and learn about the safety rules. At the sound of the burners, the balloon inflates and becomes very imposing, an impressive spectacle! It will then be time to settle in the basket.

- The balloon will take height in a few minutes and will fly away slowly. You will be able to appreciate the calm that surrounds you before returning to the ground: the pilot will look for a flat ground, then the basket will be gently braked thanks to the high grass and the balloon will stop.

- Finally, the envelope will be detached from the basket and you will be invited to participate in the folding. After packing everything in the trailer, it will be time to celebrate your flight with the famous balloonist's toast!

The activity lasts 3 hours, including 1 hour of flight.
