Hi-my fiance and I are getting married (unofficially-legally we are getting married in the states first but we are having a small ceremony in France) in Normandy at the end of May. I love the idea of taking our family in a hot air balloon but in spite of their being a museum on the history of ballooning in Normandy, I can't find a company that offers balloon rides. If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it! Merci.

Try this one

Just a blurb from me regarding safety in the balloon.

If your bride is going to be wearing any sort of headdress, you might ask your pilot if it is safe. Many fabrics could easily melt due to the heat from the burner if in close proximity.

I envy you guys! I *love* ballooning!

Try the website for the Château Audrieu; I've seen pictures of a balloon next to the hotel.
