Since July 1st 1999 and until 2001, the world’s largest balloon has flown over Paris to celebrate the entrance into the new millenium.
This project came to life thanks to the partner Fortis, an international bank-insurance group, the City of Paris, in harmony with their Paris 2000 mission, and Aérophile S.A.
The project magically unites one of Paris’s largest parks (intermixing modern architecture with an homage to nature) with a clean and silent balloon (symbol of weightlessness and contemplation). Attractive and esthetic in itself, the park houses one of the most fantastic Parisian attractions, besides the Eiffel Tower.
