Throughout the flight you will be followed on the ground by a four-wheel drive vehicle, which is in permanent radio contact with pilot. This same vehicle will take you back to the Château after the flight.

General conditions:
The hot-air balloon service is independent of the hotel service.

The flight is provided and insured by the hot-air balloon company, which will invoice you directly.

If a flight has to be cancelled on the spot by the pilot due to unforeseen weather conditions, you will not be invoiced for the flight, but you will be required to pay for your stay at the Château ( € 678 for food and board for 2 people).
