A moment of happiness A big thank you for the warm welcome from Marine, Marie and Sophie, and above all a very, very big Bravo for the skills and kindness of Léo and our captain, Marina, who mastered her craft perfectly, sharing her passion with us by showing us the magnificent landscapes above or below the clouds in perfect weather conditions. A real pleasure, and to finish it all off, breakfast was served on the spot after tidying up. Pascal and Gilles

An extraordinary birthday present A superb morning under the wings of the kingfisher. A walk in the skies, on the wind, over the beautiful Dordogne and the castles that watch over it: Castelneaud, Fayrac, Marqueyssac, les Milandes and Beynac. A great atmosphere, a top-notch pilot and, on arrival, coffee and croissants! In short, an unforgettable seventies birthday.

first silent flight over the Dordogne. A fantastic duo: Marina at the controls of her balloon and Nicolas at the wheel of his 4x4. Two partners at the top of their game to help us appreciate the beauty of the countryside and the technical aspects of hot-air ballooning. Highly recommend this team. We'll be back for another 2-hour flight, don't change a thing.

Magical flight over the Dordogne valley A magical flight over the Dordogne valley and hillsides, with mists in the valleys, and a dazzling sunrise. How beautiful our region is ..... Magnificent experience with Thibaud, a very professional pilot who knows how to pass on his love of the landscape, not forgetting his partner Marcus. A great time, to be highly recommended.

The Dordogne from above! Sublime ... A fantastic experience....the flight was uncertain because of the hot weather, but we left early in the evening anyway....and headed for the Lot at 2200m for Andrew our pilot's highest and longest flight of the season!!! It was just magnificent. Thanks to the team, super nice, super on time, super educational and full of humor (I'm thinking of Nicolas who seems inexhaustible) In short, a trip for our 50th anniversary that we'll remember! A soft landing and a drink from the aerostier once the equipment had been packed away and we were straight out in the field! Top of the line, too short for my taste...despite the 1-hour flight!

We went back in 2010. It was a magical trip. So calm, quiet and relaxing. Glad to see the company are still providing the service. We almost missed the flight as we were stuck in the hotel in Les Eysie. Door locked and nobody around to open it :( The pilot was unserstandably unhappy when we arrived late, but understood our earlier predicament :)

A team so empathetic and caring! A professional pilot eager to share her knowledge of the landscapes and the special features of this trip at altitude above the Dordogne - all the ingredients were there for a wonderful surprise evening! Many thanks, to be highly recommended.

The cost of a hot-air balloon flight isn't for everyone... but if there's one thing that's different from traditional visits to the magnificent sites of the Périgord Noir, hot-air ballooning is the opportunity to share a timeless moment with a breathtaking view over this magnificent valley. We have no hesitation in recommending Périgord Dordogne montgolfières for their professionalism and the attention they pay to their crews. Take to the skies without hesitation 🎈
