Agréable vol avec Carlos pilote efficace aux connaissances sur la région sans faille. Cette première expérience de la montgolfière donne naturellement envie d'aller survoler d'autres régions. Outre l'agrément du vol, la technique du déploiement et de la mise en air chaud de l'enveloppe du ballon est intéressante.Les manœuvres d'arrivée ne le sont pas moins ! Seul bémol inhérent à la machine, la chaleur dégagée par les brûleurs est vraiment infernale... Félicitations à votre équipe d'aéronautes.

From start to finish the entire experience was amazing. Going up in the balloon and seeing the countryside over Vezelay was the perfect place to view the Burgandy countryside. Carlos our instructor was top notch and a pleasure to experience the ride with. Would recommend all to take the plunge and do the ride. Also ask for Carlos, he will make sure it is memorable.
