Hot Air Ballooning in the Beaujolais, Lyon

Overview

One of the best ways to see the historic and scenic Beaujolais Province is floating in the sky. Get a bird's-eye-view of the Tuscany-style rolling hills with an exciting hot air ballooning experience. You'll sail over the countryside, admiring the vineyards of Beaujolais underneath you. Lyon is known as the “Gastronomic Capital of France” and its vineyards are an important part of that title. Besides a patchwork of grapevines, you'll also admire hilltop villages, misty valleys, and the Alps in the distance.
