Presentation

Au Gré des Vents offers you the most enchanting way of discovering the Loire and its famous castles. For over 20 years, this family enterprise, now run by Kevin, has provided initiation in the magic of hot-air balloons by organising daily flights above the Loire valley. On board one of its seven balloons, discover, just before sunrise or at sunset, the most beautiful landscapes of this natural region listed in UNESCO's World Heritage. Flying in a hot-air balloon remains a privileg… Accepting to be a plaything for the wind, not knowing where it will take you, agreeing to abandon the trip when weather conditions forbid it, but also being able to glimpse what no-one else will have seen from the earth, shaking hands with the clouds, or responding by waving your hand at invitations sent from those who stayed on the ground…
