Wedding proposal on a private hot air balloon ride near Paris｜France

There are two times of day when flying in a hot air balloon is possible: at dawn, when the air is still calm and the light of the sunrise bathes the landscapes in an unreal softness. And at the end of the day, 2-3 hours before the sun disappears over the horizon, when the colors are ablaze and time seems to slow down.

These are not just weather windows: they are two of the most beautiful moments that nature offers to those who know how to seize them. It is in one of these moments that your marriage proposal will take place. Aboard a fully private hot air balloon, just the two of you and your pilot, you will gently rise above the countryside. The takeoff from the base is a show in itself: the balloon slowly inflates, rises, and comes to life before your eyes. Then comes that unique moment when the basket leaves the ground – imperceptibly at first, then with a disconcerting lightness – and the world fades away beneath you.

No more noise, no more hustle and bustle. Just the wind, a 360-degree panorama of castles, forests, valleys, and fields, and the person you love by your side. The hot air balloon does not steer – it follows the wind, lets itself be carried, rises and falls in search of the most beautiful current. There is something infinitely romantic about this freedom: you don't know exactly where you will go; you trust the moment.

It is precisely here, in this space between heaven and earth, far from everything, that your proposal will find its place. Take advantage of this moment to propose to your other half in complete privacy. Upon landing – in a meadow, a field, or along a country road that the wind has chosen for you – tradition dictates that you celebrate with a glass of champagne. You will be awarded a flight certificate.

OuiLove Paris coordinates the entire service with its team, which has 35 years of experience in ballooning and holds an air operator certificate from the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC).
