Yuan Meng, the first panda born in Beauval in 2017, flew from Roissy on Tuesday to reach China.
Applauded by the public when he left the Beauval zoo, then welcomed by a whole delegation, with in particular the presence of his godmother Brigitte Macron, on the tarmac of Paris Roissy.
Head of the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center (China). Delphine, Yuan Meng’s carer since birth, travels to China with him. And she inevitably expects to have “a big pinch in the heart”.
The Air China Cargo Boeing 777F departed from Paris CDG on July 25th, at 17h30.
The aircraft (reg. B-222S) landed in Chengdu, China almost 10 hours later.
