Hot-air balloon flight - Le Ballon Bleu

Enjoy a private hot-air balloon flight in a small basket for up to 2 passengers (plus the pilot).

Description

Private 'vintage' balloon flights for two to discover the hilly plateau of the Combrailles with its hedgerows, forests, fields, even a Tibetan monastery... And with the volcanic hills of the Chaîne des Puys (Unesco heritage site) and the Mont Dore at the horizon. Destination unknown, drifting with the wind: a true adventure. After the emotions of the flight there is our unique after-flight party and champagne toast.
Our flights are strictly non-commercial, passengers participate in the costs of the flight, we sell no prepaid tickets - payment of the costs on the day of the flight. We take off in the early morning just after sunrise. The choice of one of our take-off sites is made the morning of the flight. The meeting point is always at our home base, Le Ballon Bleu in Sauret-Besserve, about 30 minutes before sunrise.

Thèmes

• Host portrait

  I am crazy about trips without rudders or motors in hot air balloons, the challenge of playing with air currents and working with nature, never against it. Not knowing your destination as a result, discovering unknown places is such a human adventure, with often surprising and friendly encounters with the inhabitants - humans and animals - upon landing.

• Sustainable tourism

  Offer an unusual small-scale activity that introduces you to the bocageous landscape still full of wildlife, in a non-invasive way, and with an unusual perspective.
