On May 26, 1986, Paris became the stage for one of France’s most audacious prison escapes. Nadine Vaujour, a 34-year-old woman, had spent months secretly training under the alias Lena Rigon to earn her private pilot’s license. Her mission was not professional ambition but a daring plan to free her husband, Michel Vaujour, who was serving a 28-year sentence at La Santé Prison for armed robbery and attempted murder.

That morning, Nadine rented a civilian helicopter and flew it across the city. At 10:45 a.m., she hovered over the prison roof and dropped a rope ladder. Guards were caught off guard as Michel climbed aboard, leaving behind another inmate who had hoped to join. Within minutes, Nadine steered the helicopter to a nearby soccer field in southern Paris, where the couple abandoned the aircraft and escaped in a waiting car.
