You have the entire aircraft at your disposal, benefit from a dedicated lounge reception area and control the program according to your wishes: romantic surprise, photo shoot, executive committee, VIP transfer... No passengers other than you and your guests.

  • Total flexibility: departure possible 7 days a week at the time of your choice.
  • Personalized itinerary: create your own "Route des Châteaux" or head for a wine estate.
  • Privacy & comfort: Bose® noise-reduction headphones, individual briefing, champagne on board.
