A Provence hot air balloon ride lifts you at sunrise near Forcalquier, over hills, fields and typical villages in the morning light. When the wind allows you may see the Valensole lavender plateau, the Luberon, or hill-town country such as Gordes — then champagne and a flight certificate after landing.
The Provence hub has one flight: a shared sunrise basket limited to eight participants, with pickup in the pick-up area.
The Provence sunrise balloon flight
Provence Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride, from €275 per person. About 3.5 hours for the full experience, with about an hour in the air. Pickup is included within the pick-up area — confirm your address when you book — or meet the team at the meeting point for transfer to that morning’s take-off site near Forcalquier. Breakfast is served while the balloon is prepared, then a safety briefing before lift. The route follows the wind, so named places are views you may get, not a fixed overflight. After landing: champagne, a flight certificate, and return transport to the meeting point. Offered in French and English.
Before you go
- Where: Forcalquier area with pickup included within the pick-up area, or meet at the meeting point for transfer to the take-off site and return after landing. Exact start time is on your booking or voucher (early morning / sunrise).
- Who can fly: not suitable for children under 6. Not suitable for pregnant guests or people with mobility impairments. Ballooning needs basic fitness for boarding, standing in the basket, and a possible bump on landing. An individual weight limit is not stated on the booking page.
- Cancellation: free up to 24 hours before for a full refund. Flights depend on wind and weather and normally run at sunrise; if conditions are not suitable, the provider typically offers a full refund or a date change.
