About this experience
Enjoy unique views of Paris from a 35-metre tall hot-air balloon. Take flight up to 150 metres high in the heart of Parc Andre Citroen, the only green space in Paris that opens directly onto the Seine River. The tethered balloon stays level at its peak, allowing uninterrupted 360-degree views of the City of Lights. In flight, the balloon is visible from 20 kilometres away and is even seen by 400,000 people every day.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. Your mobile ticket is accepted at the boarding point, so a screenshot on your phone is all you need.
What happens if the balloon is not flying on my chosen day?
The balloon can be grounded by wind or rain. Check the official Ballon de Paris website on the morning of your visit for the daily flight status before travelling to the park.
Is there a minimum age or height requirement?
Children under 3 years old are admitted free of charge. The supplier data does not state a minimum height, but the balloon basket is enclosed and suitable for young children accompanied by an adult.
Can pregnant women take the flight?
No. Pregnant women are not permitted on the balloon for safety reasons.
What time is the last flight of the day?
The last flight departs 30 minutes before the park closes. Opening hours vary by season, so check the official website before your visit.
Is the balloon actually free-flying, or is it tethered?
It is tethered throughout the flight. The balloon rises vertically to 150 metres and holds steady at the top, then descends — it does not travel across the city.
