Picture yourself in a basket, tied to a balloon that is flying over mountain tops and all of civilisation; the serenity, the sky, the view. Floating above epic landscapes, castles, even Aztec ruins. That is what hot air balloon flights represent. Humanity’s curiosity with flying is a long-known history and the ever-revolving chase for thrill has taken us to hot air ballooning, which allows you to enjoy a beautiful scenery and experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, all from above.

The Lorraine Mondial Air Ballons festival on Sunday broke the world record for the most simultaneous hot air balloon flights.
