1976: Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, Concorde ambassador in America
17.5.1976: In full festivities of the bicentennial of the United States, the dashing French president lands in Washington in Concorde. By this clever ploy he unblocks the case of the supersonic aircraft across the Atlantic. The French President's fluency in English is a significant asset in discussions with President Gerald Ford. His visit naturally ends with a visit to Louisiana, the most French-speaking state in the USA.
