In 1930 she gained her license as pilot, second-class, having completed 14 balloon ascents, including four solo and two at night.
[1] On 30 December 30, 1931, she left from Saint Cloud in the "Maison et Mallet" Trophy, competing for the distance, but because of the snow on her aircraft, weighing it down,[2] she was forced to land in Châtillon-sur-Seine and abandon the race.
At that time she had made 28 ascents, including 22 solo and four at night, and had participated in the Juchmès and Mallet cups, but without victory.
[5] In 1934 she copiloted with Suire a test hot-air balloon before the Gordon Bennett Cup race in Warsaw to show the contestants how the wind blows.
The accident was caused by the progressive loss of hydrogen via a defect in the porous coating of her balloon, a common issue at the time.
