* July 6 – The world's first Air Car-ferry service is flown by a Bristol Freighter of Silver City Airways from Lympne to Le Touquet.

He was captured by Count Guy I of Ponthieu, and was then taken as a hostage to the count's castle at Beaurain, 24. 5 km up the River Canche from its mouth at what is now Le Touquet.

In July of that year, the airline inaugurated the world's first air ferry service across the English Channel between Lympne Airport and Le Touquet Airport.

This period also saw the launch of a London — Paris coach-air-coach / rail service, with the cross-Channel air portion operating between Lydd and Le Touquet.

The following summer, the airline reached agreement with a French rival to co-finance construction of a branch line linking Le Touquet Airport with the nearby main railway line to reduce surface travelling time from / to Paris.

On 7 July 1948, a Silver City Bristol Freighter operated the first cross-Channel air ferry service, between Lympne near Folkestone in Kent and Le Touquet on France's northern Côte d ' Opale coast, with good road connections from and to London and Paris respectively.

In February 1949, Silver City established a French sister airline headquartered in Paris to operate vehicle ferry flights from Le Touquet Airport.

To encourage further traffic growth on its Lympne — Le Touquet cross-Channel car ferry service, Silver City reduced fares with effect from 19 September 1950: the rate for cars up to 14 feet in length was cut from £ 27 to £ 19 while the rate for larger vehicles dropped from £ 32 to £ 25.

The success of Silver City's Lympne — Le Touquet air ferry service resulted in subsequent introduction of additional routes across the English Channel and to other parts of the British Isles.

This included new car ferry services between Southampton ( Eastleigh ) and Cherbourg as well as between Southend ( Rochford ) and Ostend and a DC-3 passenger service linking Gatwick and Le Touquet.

Following his tour of the airport's facilities, the Duke boarded one of Silver City's scheduled air ferry services to Le Touquet on Superfreighter G-AMWD.

By 1954, the Silver City cross-Channel network comprised five routes: Gatwick — Le Touquet, Lydd — Le Touquet, Lympne — Calais, Lympne — Ostend and Southampton — Cherbourg.

For a short while, Le Touquet flights operated from the former while Calais and Ostend services continued to use the latter.

It was also the year Silver City complemented its Gatwick — Le Touquet all-passenger operation with a vehicle ferry service.

These linked Stranraer with Belfast and Birmingham with Le Touquet.

In 1956, Silver City commenced London — Paris coach-air-coach / rail services via Lydd ( Ferryfield ) and Le Touquet / Étaples.

Also in 1957, Silver City completed its one-millionth Channel crossing since its inaugural Lympne — Le Touquet air ferry service took to the air in July 1948.

The Hermes were based at Manston, from where they operated Silver Arrow all-passenger services to Le Touquet and inclusive tour charters to European destinations until parent company BAS's acquisition by British United Airways ( BUA ) parent Air Holdings in 1962.

In summer 1961, Silver City agreed with rival French air ferry operator Compagnie Air Transport ( CAT ) for the latter to finance the construction of a two-mile rail spur into Le Touquet Airport from the nearby main line to reduce the travelling time between the airport and Paris by cutting out the coach / rail change at Étaples.

In return, Silver City transferred three of its Superfreighters to CAT along with the traffic rights to operate the Ferryfield — Le Touquet and Bournemouth ( Hurn ) — Cherbourg routes.

It has two airports, the main one being Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport at Le Lamentin.

One of the earliest such fields was Paris – Le Bourget Airport at Le Bourget, near Paris.

The second line will run east-west from Le Port to the Nice Côte d ' Azur Airport, extending to Cagnes-sur-Mer, while the third line will provide a connection to the future TGV Nice Saint-Augustin Lingostière rail station.

Since much of the traffic at the time was between Croydon and Le Bourget Airport in Paris, he proposed the word " Mayday " from the French m ’ aider.

In exchange, SNCF allows passengers on these flights to book rail service between Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport in Roissy ( near Paris ) and Aix-en-Provence, Angers, Avignon, Bordeaux, Le Mans, Lille, Lyon Part-Dieu, Marseille, Montpellier, Nantes, Nîmes, Poiters, Rennes, Tours, and Valence with their airline.

Braudel was editor of Annales from 1956 to 1968, followed by the medievalist Jacques Le Goff.

However, Braudel's informal successor as head of the school was Le Roy Ladurie, who was unable to maintain a consistent focus.

An eminent member of this school, Georges Duby, wrote in the foreword of his book Le dimanche de Bouvines that the history he taught relegated the sensational to the sidelines and was reluctant to give a simple accounting of events, but strived on the contrary to pose and solve problems and, neglecting surface disturbances, to observe the long and medium-term evolution of economy, society and civilisation.

The most important was the study of the Peasants of Languedoc by Braudel's star pupil and successor Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie.
