Air Balloon at Parc André Citroën

One of the hidden gems in Paris, is Parc André Citroën. It is great for a day out. Perhaps you may just want to have a picnic in the park with family or some friends, or you may be adventurous enough to take a ride on Generali’s Ballon de Paris!

A word of advice would be to check the website before you set off to Parc André Citroën, as occasionally there are last minute updates that could affect the day’s events such as the weather warning below.

Tickets are available online. You can get them directly from the site above or perhaps look out for discounts on other sites at your own risk.

Even if you have an pre brought online ticket, you must queue up in line (which can be a long wait) to exchange your QR code for a paper ticket.

You must show the online QR Code to the cashier to exchange for your paper ticket.

Incase you are worried about flying too high, you can rest assured that the balloon is launched up with a thick rope firmly attached to the ground. So you won’t fly away too far. It literally just goes up and the down. For more information please see their website: https://ballondeparis.com/ballon-de-paris-generali/fonctionnement
