On a clear and bright summers day you can visit the hill top gardens of the Chateau de Marqueyssac and marvel at the spectacular views of the Dordogne valley laid out before you. In the distance you can see the awesome medieval Castle at Castelnau and the riverside village of La Roque Gageac clinging to the rock face above the river.
Dordogne Périgord Montgolfières
Like many of the thousands of visitors to this area you would be forgiven for thinking that there was no better way to see this beautiful part of France. Then from a field far below you see a brightly coloured balloon rising slowly into the air. Known in French as Mongolfires (named after the famous French ballooning pioneer) these balloons carry small groups of visitors and give them an unequaled view of the landscape below.
With so many beautiful landscapes to explore, hot air balloon rides are becoming more popular by the year and flights are available in most regions of France. Gitesearch’s attraction pages feature several companies who offer flights. Dordogne Périgord Montgolfières offer rides in the spectacular Dordogne Valley and the surrounding area. France Montgolfières offer flights in all the popular tourist areas from the very north of the country to the Mediterranean Sea.
