BALLOON FLIGHT: DISCOVER THE BLACK PÉRIGORD FROM THE SKY

A magical view of the Dordogne valley

Located in Saint-Vincent-de-Cosse, near the prestigious Château des Milandes, balloon flights offer a unique experience to discover the treasures of the Périgord Noir from the air. The launch site, facing the Dordogne River, offers panoramic views of iconic sites such as Beynac Castle and the Marqueyssac Gardens.

A true journey through history that reveals the beauty of the valley from a magical perspective.

Two passionate pilots at your service

Founded in 2018 by Fabrice, Vol en Balloon offers an aerial adventure orchestrated by passionate pilots. Fabrice, who has held a pilot's license since 2016, decided to share his passion. In 2020, Sébastien joined the team as second pilot, bringing a new dimension to the balloon experience.

Ground crew members, essential support

The ground crew plays a crucial role in the success of every balloon flight. They are responsible for preparations for flight, following the balloon from the road to ensure a smooth landing, and handling storage after landing.

Their presence guarantees a smooth and secure experience for passengers.

Two hot air balloons for groups of 4 to 6 passengers

Balloon Flight features two hot air balloons, offering an intimate experience for groups of up to 4 to 6 passengers. Each balloon is piloted by certified professionals, ensuring a safe aerial adventure.

The balloon flight experience lasts approximately 3 hours, including an hour of flight over the magnificent castles of Beynac, Milandes, and Castelnaud, depending on the wind direction. The launch site, located at the Les Hauts de Saint-Vincent guesthouse, offers convenient parking and allows for a comfortable return after the adventure.
