AN UNPRECEDENTED HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE IN NORMANDY

Take a hot air balloon ride over the Villeray domain

The Domaine de Villeray, owned by the Eelsen family, is located in the charming 16th century village of Villeray. At the bottom of the village, on the banks of the Huisne, stands the Villeray mill, and then up a country road, one discovers the entrance to the Château de Villeray. In the heart of the Perche natural park, this majestic castle is nestled in a 30-hectare park filled with century-old trees. The Villeray estate has now become a hotel with numerous rooms and a SPA located in the former orangery. In an environment steeped in history, it is the ideal place for a hot air balloon flight. The castle stands in the middle of a green setting, and dominates the whole of a wooded park.

After admiring the Villeray estate and the town of Sablons sur Huisne, we will fly over a part of Normandy in a hot air balloon. Passing by Berd’huis or Saint-Hilaire-sur-Erre, we will admire the pretty little castle of Beaulieu. Above all, we will fly over the natural park of the Perche, a green setting only 2 hours from Paris, recognised as one of the jewels of French heritage. Today, it includes 88 communes between the Orne and Eure-et-Loir departments, and is characterised by a wide variety of natural environments: hedged hedgerows, meadows, forests and ponds. It offers exceptional wildlife and a remarkable built heritage, with its manor houses, superb farmhouses and charming villages.

DISCOVER NORMANDY and THE PERCHE IN A HOT AIR BALLOON

Fly over the castle of the Counts of Perche in a hot air balloon

Head for the Eure-et-Loir, and more precisely the commune of Nogent le Rotrou. Dominating the Huisne valley, the castle of the Counts of Perche is in a major strategic position at the crossroads of five valleys and three regions: Ile-de-France, Normandy and Maine. Still called the château Saint-Jean, it is an ancient fortress steeped in history. During the Hundred Years’ War, it was taken over and the keep was burnt down by the Englishman Salisbury. The castle underwent architectural changes during the Renaissance: the towers were raised and the body was transformed. Established as a dukedom, the castle was returned to Sully in 1624, who chose to convert it into a Louis XIII style dwelling. During the Revolution, it was transformed into a prison, and then began its rebirth in 1843. Now listed as a historical monument, it houses the Museum of the History of the Perche. A sumptuous monument to be seen from the sky.
