Announcement of balloon constructed by Charles Renard & Arthur Krebs at Chalais-Meudon, and its successful flight on 9 August. (We can safely infer it's La France though the name isn't mentioned – the specifications line up with our existing information.)

In the form of a patriotic communication to the Académie française.
