Experience a hot-air balloon ride that offers stunning aerial views of the Fontainebleau Forest and its surrounding countryside. The flight lasts for about one hour, and you can choose to take off either just after sunrise or during the evening when winds are gentle and the temperatures remain cool. The entire experience spans approximately three hours, including the time for balloon inflation and a celebratory toast when you descend.
As you float above the forest, expect to see glimpses of rivers, charming villages, and wildlife like deer, boar, and pheasant, all while taking in the historical significance of a location once favoured by French kings. For those seeking a more intimate experience, there is an option to upgrade for a private tour accommodating just two passengers plus the pilot.

Excellent experience. The team was outstanding—very professional and friendly. We highly recommend it. Great job, everyone.
I was curious about hot air balloons since I had only seen them fly in the early morning, so trying an evening flight was exciting. I really loved this experience. The scenery is stunning, with endless trees and greenery. The pilot, Jean-Philippe, was very professional and supportive. I felt completely at ease with him and the crew. As the sun set, it was truly magical; the light on the horizon is something I will cherish forever. Following a smooth landing, we were treated to champagne while appreciating the sunset.
My first experience in a balloon was unforgettable. The crew was incredibly professional and welcoming. It truly felt like a moment frozen in time. Thank you for this amazing experience.
An incredible experience, our family adventure was uplifted by the wind, creating a feeling of freedom in the stunning sky.
We had perfect weather for our hot air balloon ride. Our pilot was not only humorous but also clearly very experienced. The flight was incredible, and I truly wish it could have gone on longer. I'm grateful for this wonderful memory.
The view of the town and palace is fantastic, and the forest scenery is abundant. However, the landing was quite risky and poorly executed.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The hot air balloon flight offered breathtaking views, especially with such great weather. However, I have two suggestions for improvement: the advertised appointment time on the site was 6:30 PM, while the actual flight began at 4:30 PM, which could confuse international travelers unfamiliar with the 24-hour format. Additionally, the meeting point was referred to as "Carrefour of Av de Maintenon," which might mislead non-French speakers into thinking it refers to the Carrefour supermarket. Changing the description to "crossroad" or "junction" would be clearer. Despite these issues, I want to acknowledge the balloon pilot's excellent performance. Thank you very much.
Pilot Jean Phillip was outstanding, providing a fantastic ride with an especially impressive landing. The champagne at the end was a delightful touch. The crew was friendly, enjoyable, and efficient in setting up and packing down the balloon. The pilot even resembled a young Van Gogh, before he lost his ear.
I had a truly enjoyable and memorable experience. The pilot, Jean-Phillipe, was knowledgeable and helpful, even aiding me in returning to the train station. The ground service gentleman was also informative and supportive. I would definitely consider using this company again for future balloon rides.
This was a dream come true for me, and my husband had a great time as well. The pilot and his crew were exceptionally skilled, and the views were stunning. I highly recommend it without any reservations. Margie and Joe Zronek
