|
Sometime between 6 and 7pm, your hotel's
reception or the chauffeur himself will
invite you to go outside to discover a
truly elegant surprise at the foot of
your building.
Your partner will gaze
in disconcertment as you delightedly discover
a 1959 Mark IX Jaguar... a divine car
in which you'll comfortably settle down
into.
The engine will let out
its trademark purr as you head off on
an unforgettable journey across the City
of Light. You'll then leave the Paris
region in order to explore the French
department of Eure-et-Loire and its typical
green countryside.
You'll next discover
the ravishingly majestic façade of the
Château d'Esclimont. This former La Rochefoucauld
family residence and Renaissance masterpiece
will serve as your romantic stopover.
All of a sudden your
fascinated gaze will be captured by a
sublime hot air balloon being inflated
in the castle's gardens. Your vehicle
will start to slow down and will pull
up beside it. You'll be greeted like a
prince and princess by the aerostat's
pilot and steward who'll escort you over
to the gondola. A bouquet of flower will
be given to your sweetheart.
Your partner will be
amazed to find a charming table, perfectly
set up for a magnificently romantic dinner
for two, hidden inside the large wickerwork
basket. You'll climb aboard and peacefully
settle down in what will thus become your
tender love nest.
The pilot will turn up
the burners and, just like a colossus
taking a deep breath, a majestic flame
will rise up and inhale the air dozing
under the envelope.
|
You'll be filled with a sense of well-being
as you leave the ground and slowly rise
up into the air.
You'll enjoy a totally magnificent,
panoramic view of the park's 150 acres.
|
|
 |
 |
|
You'll be able to admire the 16th century
castle and its moat and pond, along with
the Watch Tower, the Trianon and the Trophy
House. The beauty of the landscape along
with the calm serenity of your flight
will be enough to take your breath away
!
You'll float with the
wind across an ancient forest, rich in
colors. Your gondola will delicately caress
the tree tops and the forest's oak, beech
and pine trees will release their deliciously
perfumed wooden scents into the atmosphere.
|
|
While looking down, hand in hand, at the
forest you may even catch a glimpse of
a few hind, hare or roedeers, who'll no
doubt briefly observe you before running
away in apprehension of your strange aircraft...
The heat of the burners will warm your
hearts while you savor a delicious dinner
concocted by our chef, accompanied by
a bottle of Bollinger champagne.
|
|
Your attentive waiter will first serve
you with a terrine of foie gras with tender
fruits accompanied by orange confit brioche.
You'll then sample John
Dory or Bresse chicken fricassee with
spring vegetables and pea mousseline.
An assorted cheese plate
will then be brought out. You'll finish
off your meal with Frecinette banana clafoutis
in mango coulis - after which, your taste
buds will never be able to forget its
succulent flavors...

The pilot will use all of his talent to
provide you with the most beautiful scenery
to accompany your celestial dinner. One
moment he'll fly over small romantic villages,
the next, he'll delicately float the gondola
just above the surface of a pond to reveal
the balloon's reflection... Your heavenly
emotions and romance will carry you away
like the wind, while the sun will set
on the horizon and offer you an unforgettable
twilight sky.
The air around you will
be decorated in dusty, reddish and orange
glows in celebration of you love. After
more than an hour of blissful moments
together, you'll slowly start to lose
altitude. Your pilot will bring the balloon
down in an area that he'll esteem to be
fit for landing and you'll leave the sky
to rejoin the green grounds that'll you'll
have lovingly admired from high above.
In this enchantingly sublime
setting you'll return to your Jaguar and
slowly let go of your angelic dream in
favor of a wonderful reality... that of
your tender, loving and extraordinary
romance.
