Phaethon took off at 6:31 pm in Vouvray. It climbed to 11 660 m high at 8:37 pm and landed at 10:30 pm in Fixard between Limoges and Périgueux. It had a 200km horizonal flight from Tours. 

We were able to follow it thanks to the GPS/APRS data. thanks to the ham radio operators, we located it arroud 1:00 am, but we didn't get back it because of the night.

We got back it the next day at 6:00 pm in Ms and Mrs and Coudard's garden.  We immediately noticed that the horizon's photo were wonderful !
