Franco Challenge – Défi franco Two brothers were trying to float bags made of paper and fabric. When the brothers held a flame near the opening at the bottom, the bag expanded with hot air and floated upward.  This led to the invention of Hot air balloons in France in 1783.  Who are the inventors of the hot air balloon? Deux frères essayaient de faire flotter des sacs faits de papier et de tissus.  Quand ils ont placé une flamme près de l’ouverture, ils ont remarqué que le sac pouvait flotter et que le sac montait.
