Balloon Generali of Paris, Moored balloon in Parc André Citroën, France
The Ballon Air de Paris rises 150 meters above the ground, offering visitors complete views of the Paris skyline and its main monuments.
The balloon began operations in 1999 at the former Citroën factory site, which was transformed into a public park during the 1990s.
This tethered balloon serves both as an observation platform for tourists and as an environmental monitoring station that measures air quality in Paris.
The balloon operates daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with tickets priced at 18 euros for adults and 12 euros for children between 3 and 11 years.
The 32-meter-tall helium balloon changes color based on the air quality measurements, functioning as a visual indicator for Parisians and visitors.
