Top Loire Valley ATV Tours in 2026

The sweeping vineyards, lush forests and fairy-tale castles of the Loire Valley are even more impressive from above and this 3-hour hot-air balloon experience is the ideal way to enjoy an aerial view. Float over the UNESCO-listed landscapes of the Loire, Indre or Cher Valleys; spot landmarks like the Chateau of Chenonceau or the gardens of Villandry; then toast your safe landing with a glass of Champagne or sparkling grape juice.

Explore the landscape around Nantes—and discover scenic spots you might otherwise miss—on this 1-hour all-terrain vehicle tour to La Baule, from the Espace Quilly center. After a safety briefing, follow your instructor along a route designed for adventure with plenty of slopes, climbs, and bridges along the way. Ride across a mix of wet and dry terrain, with jumpsuit, helmet, and access to shower facilities afterward all included.

Take in fantastic views of the Chateau of Chenonceau from aboard a hot air balloon. With this experience, you'll spend about an hour up in the sky, floating above the castle and its grounds. You'll then descend to solid grounds, where you'll be served wine, cheese, and sweets and be presented with your flight certificate.
