Why Propose by Helicopter?
The helicopter offers what no other format can reproduce: a suspended moment above Paris, far from everything, with the entire city as a carpet of light beneath your feet. The engine covers the world's noise, the headset isolates you in a sound bubble, and the plunging view turns Paris into a living postcard.
Proposing by helicopter means choosing absolute exclusivity. No passersby, no onlookers, no outside gaze. You are alone with the pilot, who is used to it and knows how to fade into the background, and with the person you love, at 500 meters altitude, at the exact moment you bring out the ring.
It's also the only marriage proposal where the backdrop changes in real time. In a few minutes, you fly over Les Invalides, the Eiffel Tower, the Bois de Vincennes, the châteaux of Île-de-France. Every second brings a new viewpoint, every turn reveals a new monument. It's this unique dimension that makes a helicopter proposal so unforgettable.

Types of Flights: Durations and Routes
Paris Île-de-France Flight (from €990)
The reference format for a marriage proposal. Departure from the Paris heliport, flyover of the capital, the châteaux of Versailles and Vaux-le-Vicomte, then return. Duration: 20 minutes. It's the most complete flight: you get Paris, the great monuments, and the châteaux in one experience.
Monaco Flight (from €890)
For couples who want a Mediterranean backdrop. Departure from the Monaco heliport, flyover of the Coast, Cap Ferrat, and Monaco's harbor. Shorter but more dramatic: the cliffs plunging into the sea offer a spectacular setting. Duration: 10 minutes.
Cannes Flight (from €1390)
The luxury version of the French Riviera. Departure from Cannes, flyover of the Esterel, the Lérins Islands, and the Bay of Cannes. Ideal for a wedding planned in the South or for a couple attached to the Mediterranean. Duration: 12 minutes.
Private Helistation Cannes (from €5990)
The ultimate format. You don't take off: the helicopter lands on a private hélistation in the hills above Cannes, with 360° sea views. The proposal takes place on the ground, in a fully private setting, with champagne and service. It's the most exclusive marriage proposal in the OuiLove catalogue.
Best Routes and Times
Paris Flyover at Sunset
The magic moment. The helicopter flies over the Eiffel Tower as the sun strikes its west facade. The city shifts from golden to deep blue in minutes. It's the most requested and most moving time slot.
Île-de-France Châteaux Flyover
For history lovers. Versailles first, with its French gardens seen from the sky, then Vaux-le-Vicomte and its golden dome. The proposal takes place above the Grand Canal of Versailles, a royal setting for a royal moment.
Morning Flight at Dawn
For early risers and tighter budgets. Morning light on Paris is the purest, the city is still asleep, and the monuments stand out against a cloudless sky. The most poetic and calmest time slot.
French Riviera Flyover
Monaco, Cannes, Nice. The sea, the red cliffs of the Esterel, the Lérins Islands. A Mediterranean backdrop that rivals Paris, perfect for couples who met in the South.

Practical Tips
When to Book
Book as early as possible, especially in high season (June-August). Sunset slots are the most in-demand.
Weather
Helicopter flights depend on weather conditions. In case of bad weather, the flight is rescheduled at no cost. Favor May, June, September, and October for clear skies.
Duration
The base duration included varies by experience (10 to 20 minutes). Extensions are available to prolong the moment if you wish.
Exclusive Use
All OuiLove flights are for your exclusive use. You never share the helicopter with strangers. The pilot is briefed and knows how to fade into the background at the right moment.
Personalization
Route, departure time, music in the headset, personalized pilot message, landing or not, everything is adjustable. That's the difference between a tourist flight and a bespoke marriage proposal.
