Long before the airplane, a French woman dared to challenge the skies. In 1784, Elisabeth Tible made history as the first woman to fly. Aboard a hot air balloon in Lyon, she achieved a feat that made her an admired pioneer and a symbol of the nascent field of aeronautics.

Why not treat yourself to a stay in Drôme Provençale?

Drôme Provençale is such a pretty corner of France. At the confluence of Provence and Dauphiné, bordered by the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux, it stretches from Montélimar to Montbrun-les-bains, passing through Grignan, Saint Paul Trois Châteaux and superb sun-drenched villages, but in a green land - light green for the olive trees, deeper for the vines. It's a real place full of the sweetness of life, where it's good to spend your vacations. Discover some of the places selected by Monsieur de France...
