LePique and Grandpré: The Hot Air Balloon Duel - Rewind
Monday Jun 05, 2023
Monday Jun 05, 2023
Originally released Jan 3, 2022. In 1808, a lover's quarrel in Paris led to one of the most interesting duels ever fought. Monsieur LePique and Monsieur de Grandpré both fell in love with the same ballerina. So they did what anyone caught in a 19th century Parisian love triangle would do: they fought a duel via hot air balloon. In this episode, we tell the extremely French tale and then issue a quick quiz about duels to Professional Mindreader, Eric Dittelman!
