Fly above the Fontainebleau Forest on a hot-air balloon ride that provides aerial views of the French countryside outside of Paris. During a morning or evening flight, look down on rivers, villages, and the vast forest, which was once the hunting ground of French kings, home to wild boar, deer, and pheasant. The ride takes place either just after sunrise or at the end of the day, when winds are calm and the air is cool and stable. The total adventure is about three hours, including balloon inflation, a 1-hour flight, a traditional toast upon landing, and return to the start point. When booking, you have the option to upgrade to a private tour for just two passengers and a pilot in the basket.

An unforgettable experience flying over the Château de Fontainebleau and its surroundings. A big thank you to all the team who are very friendly and know how to put you at ease, and especially to the driver Jean Philippe, passionate, professional and of a great kindness.
We can't wait to try again on another site!!!

Es una ciudad preciosa, de gran conectividad, lo suficientemente cerca de París. El palacio es hermoso, vale la pena visitar con tiempo, lo mismo que los jardines. Hay buenos restaurantes, buenos precios, lo mismo que panaderías o pastelerías, deliciosas. Se coloca la feria en la plaza martes, viernes y domingos. Muy variada, con puestos de comidas para llevar también
No es el lugar para comprar ropa, zapatos o cualquier cosa de vesturario.
