Maybe you owe somebody a lot of money; maybe the mayor\u2019s daughter is in love with you and you\u2019re below her station; or maybe it\u2019s 1870, the Franco-Prussian War is on, and you have to ditch Paris because it\u2019s under fierce siege and you\u2019re the minister of the interior. In any case, here\u2019s what history advises:<\/p>\n<p>Flee in a hot-air balloon.<\/p>\n<p>L\u00e9on Gambetta did it on October 7, 1870. Worked like a charm.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, Paris ultimately lost the war, so \u201cworked like a charm\u201d may be overstating things, but <em>still<\/em>\u2014Gambetta lived, didn\u2019t he? He did. He became a prominent statesman.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of his spectacular escape, Paris had been shelled by the Germans and Napoleon\u2019s empire had fallen; Gambetta helped to improvise a new government and advised running it from someplace other than the capital, given the city\u2019s precarious condition. A delegation left for Tours to organize the resistance, but Gambetta himself had to be sure to elude capture by the Prussians.<\/p>\n<p>The safest way, against all odds, was by balloon: couriers had been delivering the mail to Paris that way with great success. And so they smuggled him out on the sumptuously named (if not sumptuously appointed) <em>Armand-Barb\u00e8s<\/em>, one of some sixty-six balloons. He made it to Tours intact and resumed his post with vigor.<\/p>\n<p>After this comes the part where the French lose anyway, but let\u2019s skip that and wonder instead how Gambetta felt up there, in transit. I mean, I\u2019m sure he was terrified, at least partially\u2014his capture would be the end of him\u2014and yes, there must\u2019ve been a good bit of patriotism coursing through the old veins, but I hope he took a deep breath and saw the bigger picture, saw himself wafting into the history books on a hot-air balloon, Prussians cursing the sky and stomping on their hats.<\/p>\n<p>And how, once he\u2019d reached safety, could he find it in himself to talk about anything else?<\/p>\n<p>Hello, I would say by way of introduction for the rest of my life, It is I, the man who fled Paris by balloon. No, no, remain seated. Hold your applause.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_77772\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/les_ballons_sortis_pendant_le_siege_de_paris_1870-1871.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-77772\" class=\"wp-image-77772\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/les_ballons_sortis_pendant_le_siege_de_paris_1870-1871.jpg\" alt=\"Les_ballons_sortis_pendant_le_Siege_de_Paris,_1870-1871\" width=\"600\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/les_ballons_sortis_pendant_le_siege_de_paris_1870-1871.jpg 3630w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/les_ballons_sortis_pendant_le_siege_de_paris_1870-1871-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/les_ballons_sortis_pendant_le_siege_de_paris_1870-1871-1024x801.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-77772\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A broadside about ballooning during the Siege of Paris, 1870\u20131871, with a list of balloons that left the city.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Say you\u2019ve got to skip town in a hurry.
