Montgolfier brothers
The royal wallpaper factory, the "Folie Titon", run by Jean-Baptiste Réveillon, was located here until its demolition in 1880. It helped the Montgolfier brothers build hot-air balloons, which were first tested here with humans on 19 October 1783, although the balloon was tethered to the ground. The Reveillon riot occurred at the "Folie Titon" on 28 April 1789, which was a harbinger of the French Revolution.
