Buying guide
Not sure which ticket to choose?
The Ballon de Paris Generali is entirely weather-dependent, so the most important factor is choosing a ticket that allows for wind-related delays. We recommend 'Open Tickets' that let you visit when conditions are optimal rather than being locked into a specific hour that might see flights grounded.
Visitors wanting maximum flexibility for weather conditions
The open-dated format is essential for this attraction, allowing you to check the live 'fly/no-fly' status on the day and visit only when the balloon is active.
Compare offers ↓Travelers looking to combine aerial views with a river cruise
This bundle offers a significant discount compared to buying the balloon flight and Bateaux Mouches cruise separately while maintaining mobile convenience.
Compare offers ↓Spontaneous booking while already at Parc André Citroën
Instant mobile confirmation allows you to purchase your ticket the moment you see the balloon is currently in the air and the weather is clear.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What happens if the balloon cannot fly due to weather?
The balloon may stop or close without notice when weather conditions are unfavorable. Check the official flight status before traveling and confirm the voucher or seller terms if you already purchased a ticket.
How do I check if the balloon is operating before I travel?
Check the official Ballon de Paris website before leaving. The operator warns that flights can stop and the attraction can close without notice, particularly in unfavorable weather.
Do I need to book a specific time slot?
No reservation is required. If you buy a ticket in advance, bring it to the ticket office for exchange; advance tickets are not skip-the-line tickets, so they do not remove the normal boarding queue.
Are there special rates for children, students or seniors?
The official site lists €20 for ages 12+, €15 for ages 3–11 and free entry for children under 3. Seniors aged 65+ and students under 26 may pay €16 from 9:00 to 13:00, excluding weekends and public holidays; students must show proof of eligibility.
Is the flight accessible for visitors with reduced mobility or during pregnancy?
A manual wheelchair may board, limited to one wheelchair per flight. Electric wheelchairs are not permitted. Pregnant women cannot take part in the flight; contact the ticket office if an existing ticket needs its validity extended.
