Terres d'envol

Gain altitude and come discover the Poitevin marsh as you've never seen it! After a bike ride along the canals or a morning in a boat in the streams of Green Venice, let yourself be tempted by a hot air balloon flight with Terres d'envol. From Coulon and in the heart of the Marais Poitevin Regional Natural Park, explore the skies in an exceptional natural setting.

Make your childhood dream come true and fly away in a hot air balloon with our team of enthusiasts! Between wet marshes, dried marshes and marine marshes, the Poitevin landscapes promise you unbelievably rich biodiversity, which rubs shoulders with one of the most magical historical heritages in France. Labeled a Grand Site de France since 2010, the marsh stretches over a large area at low altitude and constitutes the second largest wetland in the country, behind the Camargue. Imbued with poetic tranquility, its calm is only disturbed by the song of a few birds and the rustling of the leaves of its vegetation. The ideal way to visit it: a gentle means of transport such as a hot air balloon, which allows you to enjoy a panoramic view of the entire region.

The result of its development over the centuries, the entire marsh is punctuated with dikes, hedgerows and treasures of medieval architecture erected over more than a thousand years. From the clouds, your adventure between Coulon and Aiguillon Bay takes you traveling through time and space for a few hours. Let your gaze wander into the labyrinth of canals that dot Poitou, and admire the mysterious ruins of the ancient cathedral of Maillezais Abbey.

From our pilots to our many team members, our passionate professionals believe in the values of ecotourism and offer you an experience of contemplation within a fragile natural environment , which we strive to protect. Terres d’envol thus actively participates in the planting of trees in the Poitevin marsh, in order to ensure the carbon neutrality of its activity and the ecological balance of local biodiversity. Finally, our balloons are made in France and help to promote the know-how of our artisans.

Looking for an authentic and exotic experience? We will meet you in the town of Coulon, a few kilometers from Niort, in Deux-Sèvres. Don't wait to take flight, alone or with your loved ones, and experience an unforgettable day in the heart of protected nature!
