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
