Ballon de Paris - GENERALI

Tourist transport
Plane and helicopter sightseeing flights

Come and enjoy the unique experience of flying over Paris in the largest tethered gaz balloon in the world!

Installed since 1999 in the Parc André Citroën (15th arrondissement), the Ballon GENERALI has already initiated more than 700,000 people to the joys of tethered gaz balloon flying, which is also the world record in passenger numbers.

The balloon with its basket, its envelope and its net weighs around 2 tonnes. Thus, the balloon can lift up to 30 passengers (about 2.5 tonnes), making it the largest captive balloon in the world. This balloon measures 35 metres in height and 22.5 meters in diameter and rises up to 150 metres in altitude. It is the least polluting aircraft in the world since it is powered by an electric winch. This balloon changes colour depending on the quality of ambient air in Paris.
