Fly in hot air balloon over Loire Valley

“We took our early morning drive to the takeoff site, watched the big red montgolfière get filled with hot air, and then our small group climbed aboard. You’ll notice how quiet it is during your balloon flight — with the silence punctuated by intermittent ‘whoosh’ sounds of hot air being added to the balloon. The landscape features the lush greens of farmland and forest, with picturesque villages dotting the French countryside. The scenery unfolding beneath you is breathtaking, and we even glimpsed some deer bounding across a clearing in the forest.”

“One of the things I loved the best about the entire experience with Touraine Terre d’Envol is that it’s not “just” a hot air balloon tour where you’re dropped off, asked to get in an already prepared balloon, flown around and then dropped off right after. As I mentioned above, the guests are involved every step of the way and the entire process is an interactive experience. Guests learn about all the prep work that goes into getting the balloon ready for takeoff.”

“Without a doubt, it's a big yes! We loved the feeling of floating in the air, the calm of the dawn all around us, it was truly a unique moment! We glimpsed some of the Châteaux de la Loire, skirted the river and observed the surrounding vineyards and forests several hundred meters above sea level.”
