There is something,” he said in Jacques' mind. “Is it the tower?” "Yes, maybe." “Well, is it her or not?” «Jacques, give me time!», Francine got impatient. «And tell me where I have to land. The airship is huge, I can't go down the street." “Of course you can,” Jacques said. «Land at Avenue De La Grande Armée. The road is very wide. You will find me under the Arc de Triomphe. The square is large, you will recognize it from above.» «Do you want me to leave the airship in the middle of the road, Jacques?» “Exactly,” replied his friend. «I can't land you outside the city, how can I come and get you? And try to imagine what will happen when people see it." “They'll arrest me,” Francine said.
From the spacecraft he Phone Number Data could now clearly distinguish the Eiffel Tower and even read the Citroën sign made of many lit bulbs. "Here it is," she told Jacques. «And I also see the Arc de Triomphe.» "Well. I need to explain the landing to you better, Francine." «You told me, I have to land at Avenue De…» «Not where, Francine», interrupted Jacques, «but how.» "I do not understand." “So,” Jacques began. “Airships need a lot of ground crew to land, people to grab cables and pull the airship into a hangar. We have this staff, but there are no hangars at the Avenue De La Grande Armée. So we'll leave the airship in the middle of the road. All clear?" Francine thought about it for a few moments, then a question came to mind, a small question that intrigued her. “Who will get these cables?” he asked. “Where did you get those personnel?” “Oh,” Jacques replied. “They are my friends.
The little girl preferred not to investigate too much and returned her attention to flying. The Arc de Triomphe was nearby. R80 airship Francine's arrival in Paris by airship The arrival She felt like she was floating in the air. Her tiredness gripped her, threatening to drag her into a heavy sleep without awakening. Confused images flowed before her eyes and Francine wondered which were real and which were the product of torpor. He had followed Jacques' instructions on landing. Reduced the engines to idle. Drop in altitude. Now, from the windows of the spacecraft, she could see Jacques' friends busying themselves with the ropes and dragging the gigantic airship along Avenue De La Grande Armée. There didn't seem to be anyone around at that hour. Or was it another stunt by his friend? He still felt a sort of emptiness in his stomach.
