Hot air balloon flights: Between Sologne and Touraine, the most beautiful way to discover the Loire and its Castles. Ideally located, between Touraine and Sologne, halfway between Chambord and Chenonceau, 10 minutes from Blois or 30 minutes from Beauval Zoo, our hot air balloons will make you discover the Loire Valley known "as the garden of France" which offers a multitude of castles or mansions known or unknown that were for some the favorite residence of the kings of France during the Renaissance. Your flight site will be determined by the wind direction on the day of the flight. The meeting place will be at the meeting point, then, aboard our 4X4 vehicles, you will cross the vineyard and the Solognote countryside to reach the take-off area (either: Chaumont sur Loire, Chambord, Blois, Fougères sur Bièvres, Chenonceau or Cour Cheverny). Au Gré Des Vents is authorized by convention to take off from the Chambord estate. Our flights take place every day at dawn or dusk under good weather conditions from the beginning of March to the end of October. Count between 3 and 4 hours of service including about 1 hour of flight. On landing, in the company of the crew, you will be offered a breakfast in the morning, the toast of the aeronaut, with delivery of your certificate of ascent.
