The Jardin de la Folie Titon features a narrow, verdant strip squeezed between dense apartment buildings, marked by a solitary, tall chimney of red brick. This garden occupies the site of an eighteenth-century estate owned by Maximilien Titon, a wealthy arms manufacturer to the king. In seventeen eighty-three, this courtyard saw the Montgolfier brothers launch their first hot air balloon, lifting off before a crowd of local workers and curious aristocrats to drift silently over the rooftops of Paris.
