On December 27, 1804, Sophie did the first balloon flight with Blanchard in Marseille, but secular things like a horse carriage scared her but she was not afraid. She expressed this feeling as "unparalleled emotion". Blanchard's poor business sense broke the couple and they believed that the novelty of female balloon athletes unleash their fiscal situation.
