    Ballon monté 1870 (Nov 24): Entire letter 'Gazette des Absents' no. 10 carried on board of balloon no. 33 'La Ville d'Orleans' to Arcachon, franked with Napoléon laureated 20 c. blue, tied by "PARIS (SC)" despatch cds in red, reverse with Arcachon arrival cds (Dec 10). Maury = € 700 for the ballon + € 1'100 for the rare gazette + € 1'100 for the cancellation.rnNote: The 'Ville d'Orleans' had one of the most fascinating journeys among all ballons montés which explains two weeks for the way to the addressee. Within 15 hours it made a journey of about 1200 km from Paris to Lifjell in Norway. Mailbags were transported along the Norvegian coast to Mandal, via ship to Gravesend in the United Kingdom and via London to Tours.
