Ballooning in Paris?
 

Hi, me again. Do any of you happen to know if there are any balloon trips over Paris? We've done it in other places and thought it might be a great way to enjoy the diversity. Thanks!

I tried to do this when I was in Paris last Septmeber. I made all the reservations and plans. Unfortunately, rain and wind stopped us from actually going. If you are planning it, make sure to go at a time when the weather will be stable. If you do a search, you should find some good threads listing the company that I used. They were very helpful and responsive. I don't think they actually go over Paris. It is an hour outside of Paris, and they go over countryside. <BR> <BR>Hope this helps.

Rod, <BR>The nearest I can recall is Buddy Bombard's balloons, which are based in Burgundy. I suppose ballooning over Paris might be different, but for a real kick try doing same over the Swiss Alps.

Rod, <BR> <BR>Try www.franceballoons.com <BR> <BR>They offer trips over Paris and several other areas of France. Paris trip goes over countryside outside of the city. <BR> <BR>Let me know how it was if you go. <BR> <BR>Enjoy
