See Château de Chenonceau from the air — the house on the Cher, the arches in the water, the forest around it — from a one-hour hot air balloon out of Amboise. The wind sets the field. You may launch near Chenonceau, Amboise, or Chaumont. You look down from the basket; you do not walk the gallery on this ticket.
The Loire Valley balloon is about one hour in the air, about three hours for the whole outing. From €255 per person as labelled. Shared basket. English and French are listed. Live checkout can differ. Cancel currently 24 hours before for a full refund as shown when you book.
You do not get a promised pass directly over the château. You float over the UNESCO Loire, Indre, or Cher country and spot Chenonceau as the path allows. A 4×4 takes you to the wind-chosen field. You watch the envelope fill, hear the safety brief, then stand in the basket.
The extra of the air is the Cher and the house in one view. Stay on this ticket if Chenonceau from above is the point. The sunrise and sunset products are the same hour in the air; the light is the difference. Another château balloon on this site is Tuscany; this river house is Chenonceau.
Château d’Amboise is the royal seat in town. Chaumont-sur-Loire is the other launch country. Loire vineyards sit under the same wind. The Cher is the water Chenonceau crosses.
Meet in front of the campsite of l’Île d’Or, 2 Allée des Mariniers, 37400 Amboise, or hotel pickup on the sunrise ticket as listed. Sunset meets about three hours before sundown; sunrise about thirty minutes before dawn. The exact time comes by SMS. Give name, age, and weight in kilograms after you book. Sparkling wine or grape juice after landing is listed. A cellar tasting in Amboise is listed as included.
Book the Amboise balloon and see Chenonceau from the air.
