“The balloon, filled with 6,000 m3 (210,000 cu ft) of helium, is attached to the ground with a cable, controlled by an hydroelectric winch. This tourist attraction can board up to 30 passengers (this amounts to around 2,500 kg (5,500 lb)) at 150 m (490 ft) above Paris. It is 32 m (105 ft) high, and has a diameter of 22 m (72 ft). It has been used as advertising billboard for Fortis, then from 2002 for Eutelsat.” (Ballon Generali, Wikipedia)
