Once installed on the basket, as well as all the other participants, the take-off will be imminent. You will leave from a site near the Château de Maintenon, whose name comes from the secret wife of Louis XIV. A place rich in history and mystery.

After admiring castles, woods, small villages and fauna of the region, take-off will take place on a flat surface. A follower car will be waiting for you right next to the landing location, so that it can take you to the starting location, after assisting the team in stowing the hot air balloon.
