A breathtaking flight zone
1-A unique experience between sky, nature and heritage
Imagine floating in the air, carried by the wind, as the first rays of the sun illuminate one of the most beautiful châteaux in France. A hot air balloon flight over the Château de Chambord is an unforgettable adventure, combining wonder, serenity, and discovery. A poetic and majestic way to rediscover the Loire Valley.
2-An exceptional panorama
From the moment you ascend, the magic begins. The Château de Chambord, a Renaissance masterpiece, is revealed in all its splendor: its soaring roofs, sculpted chimneys, double spiral staircase, and symmetrical facades are all seen from a rare and spectacular perspective. Surrounded by forests and meadows, the château sits at the heart of a forested estate of over 5,400 hectares, a veritable ocean of greenery classified as a national reserve.
From the basket, the view stretches to infinity: shimmering ponds, forest clearings, picturesque villages, and sometimes, in the glow of dawn or dusk, deer or wild boar on the move. The hot air balloon glides gently, silently, at the mercy of the winds, offering a ride to the rhythm of nature.
3-An immersion in wild Sologne
The region flown over is an integral part of the Sologne landscape, known for its deep forests, moors, hunting trails, and mysterious watering holes. The diversity of landscapes seen from the sky is striking: between forest clearings, open fields, and morning dew on ponds, each flight is unique and changes with the seasons.
4-A journey through time
Flying over Chambord is also a journey through history. Built in the 16th century at the request of Francis I, the château has never ceased to fascinate with its architectural audacity. From the sky, one can fully appreciate its geometric genius and perfect symmetry. It's a moment suspended in time, a moment in which one contemplates not only nature, but also human genius.
5-When to fly?
Flights take place mainly early in the morning or late in the day, when weather conditions are most stable. These times offer exceptional light, with striking contrasts between the shadows of the forest and the golden reflections of the castle.
6-An experience to live and to offer
Whether you're looking for excitement, romance, adventure, or simply beauty, a hot air balloon flight over Chambord is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Perfect for celebrating a special occasion, a birthday, an unforgettable gift, or simply to marvel in silence.
