Escape with this hot air balloon flight that will take you up in the sky above Vezelay in Bourgogne!

Burgundy, wines, historical basilicas... And especially the region of origin of France Montgolfières! Fly with them for a real journey in time and nature!

Burgundy is a region that has kept a strong mark of the history of France and Vézelay, in particular, for its Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene, part of World Heritage Site by Unesco. This spiritual site is located at the top of the hill of Vézelay, a real beauty of green landscapes and stone vestiges.
It's a s tarting point for the pilgrimage to St Jacques de Compostelle and also where you will take off in a balloon, your spirit loaded with History in search of all the secrets of this rich region!

Depending on the wind, you will also be able to see the Salt Fountains (2500 BC) as well as the thermal baths implanted by the Romans.

A dream outing for nature and history lovers!
