Santos-Dumont Building Balloon Shed In Paris
Reports from Paris say Santos-Dumont is constructing a large balloon shed to house at least three airships. He bought 12,000 square meters of land facing the Seine at Neuilly opposite the island of Puteaux near the summer club for Parisian sportsmen. Dumont lives on the Champs Elysées and uses a tiny electric runabout.
