Location

Shortly before sunset, or at dawn, following the preparation of the flight you can take off with Lionel, a professional balloonist and paraglider who has been working as a guide in Dordogne for more than 15 years.

The hot air balloon gently floats above chateaux, follows the river while drifting with the wind, offering you the most beautiful trip ever… A moment of weightlessness you will never forget!

Flights are scheduled for when the winds are calm and conditions are best for flying, this is either sunrise or just before sunset. A magical time. You will be able to explore the chateaux and villages of the Dordogne as you drift in the clouds along the river Dordogne.
