Billed as the world's largest balloon, this helium-filled captive balloon rises to 150 metres above Parc André Citroën, carrying up to 30 passengers on a roughly ten-minute flight. Besides sightseeing, it doubles as a flying laboratory measuring greenhouse gases and air pollutants with scientific partners.

Flights depend on weather conditions and run daily without reservation; tickets are bought on-site.
