Happy Montgolfier Day!

Today, we celebrate the legacy of the Montgolfier brothers, Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne, who made history with their pioneering hot air balloon flights in the late 18th century. Montgolfier Day is celebrated on November 21st each year to commemorate the first manned hot air balloon flight, which took place on this day in 1783.
