Full description

Depending on the wind direction and speed on the day of your flight, you will either take off from the majestic Châteaux de Fontainebleau or one of the charming villages surrounding it.

Enjoy the expertise of a bilingual pilot who provides engaging commentary in both French and English, enriching your experience as you glide peacefully through the skies.

Relish the timeless beauty of nature as once admired by Alfred Sisley and other Impressionist painters. Marvel at the lush emerald forests below, home to roaming wild boar and deer, and take in views of the former royal hunting grounds and the enchanting, romantic village.

Join in the adventure by helping to inflate and deflate the balloon, adding a personal touch to your voyage. Conclude this unforgettable experience with the traditional "Toast aux Aéronautes" upon landing—a perfect end to your aerial escape.
