Are you coming to Paris for a short visit? Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and drive out towards Fontainebleau or take a train: from MORET-SUR-LOING - where Alfred Sisley and his Impressionist friends took to painting - you will be taken aloft in one of our balloons to discover rivers and villages, châteaux and century-old forests teeming with wild boar and deer...
All less than an hour away! If you do not have a car, you can easily access the meeting place by train from the Gare de Lyon (approximatly 45 minutes from Paris downtown 12 Euros) and we will come to pick you up at the train station.

We take off with the gentle breezes in the morning, approximately one hour after sunrise, or with the calm and stable winds in the evening two hours before sunset.
Our pilots will notify you of the weather forecast one day prior to your reserved flying date.
Our flights can be enjoyed by everyone. There are no particular age or physical requirements.
Because a balloon floats along with the wind there is little change in temperature; nor is there a wind chill factor. No special clothing or equipment is necessary, only your camera or video cam and plenty of film!
The adventure begins at the take-off site with the inflation. Once aboard, you float away for approximately one hour.
The ground crew, who remain in radio contact with your pilot during the flight, will greet you at the landing for the traditional « toast des aéronautes ».
