Longest time travelled (#2), Handicap, Open

There were 26 ballooning events at the 1900 Paris Exposition, which were more properly termed exhibitions. They were mixed, with both men and women participating. The events all took place starting at the Aerostation at the Parc de Vincennes in Paris. There were four balloon events contested for longest time travelled, two with handicaps, one without handicap, and what was termed a second-degree event which was only open to balloonists who had won prizes in the first three events. This event was won by Georges Juchmès, who was accompanied by Maurice Herbster and Bréan. They were aloft for 11 hours, 52 minutes, covering 350 km and landing near Riaillé, Loire-Inférieure in France. Juchmès competed in 18 balloon events at the 1900 Paris Exposition, winning three times, and he placed fourth in the Grand Prix de l’Aeronautique, the all-around ballooning competition.
