5.00Second flight with France Montgolfière, still just as delighted. Everything is well organized, the teams are top-notch, everyone is super nice, and the pilot we had (Aymeric) was very experienced. Safety is present at all levels. Thank you for this excellent moment!

5.00Wake up early for this activity because you won’t regret it. Floating on top of Provence felt magical — amazing views and a friendly and fun pilot made the trip amazing. As tradition after a balloon flight, we all had a drink together afterward and my fiancé was even given some flowers and a bottle of champagne by the crew as an engagement present! Highly highly recommend!
Flight above the area plan
