Hot Air Balloon Ride over Paris
This adventurous date idea takes you and your partner into the skies of Paris via a hot air balloon. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower, Seine River, and the beautiful architecture of the City of Light.
- You and your partner arrive at the balloon launch spot early in the morning. Excitement and anticipation build as the balloon inflates and starts to take its towering shape. Hand in hand, you both step into the basket and as you feel the balloon gently lift off, you are swept with a sense of exhilaration.
- The city unveils its true charm as you ascend higher into the skies. The majestic Eiffel Tower, the geometrical layout of the streets, the Seine River snaking through the city, everything looks picture perfect from above. The quietness up here awards you the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart conversation with your partner.
- As the sun sets over the outer line of the city, the city lights start to twinkle below you. This moment of tranquility and togetherness will create a lasting memory of your adventurous date.
Preparation steps:
- Be sure to check the weather forecast before your flight as hot air balloon rides are subject to suitable weather conditions. Dress appropriately for the weather, keeping in mind it may be cooler up in the air. Wear comfortable shoes as you may land in an open field after your ride.
- Double-check your booking details with the balloon company. Confirm the meeting point and time, flight duration, and any other special instructions they may have. Besides, check if any insurance or waiver forms need to be signed.
- Consider packing a small picnic to enjoy while you are up there. Since most hot air balloon companies won't provide refreshments apart from champagne, it would be a nice surprise for your partner.
