Today ballooning fans all over the world celebrate Montgolfier Day. On this day, in 1783, François Pilatre de Rozier and François Laurent, marquis d’ Arlandes flew over Paris in a cloth balloon made by the Montgolfier Brothers, Joseph-Michel and Jaques- Etienne! These pioneers started what we all know and love today.... imagine how they'd react if they got to witness a Fiesta mass ascent! #bristolballoon #balloonlove #lovebristol #loveballoons #hotairballoons #montgolfierday #montgolfier #bristolballoons #ballooning #bristol #balloonfans #balloonlovers #paris #history #france
