View from la place de la Concorde, showing the four Salles de danse decorated for the occasion with the base of the statue also raised in the middle. The celebration began with the distribution of medals and the departure of floats filled with musicians, followed by the ascent of 5 balloons, which rose majestically into the air, reaching a certain height where they collided with each other.
