The Bernard 191GR named La France, owned and flown by Louis Coudouret, left Paris for Seville with two Spanish passengers to prepare a transatlantic flight after Spanish authorities refused permission. On the return leg over the Angouleme region at about 500 metres, the engine failed and the aircraft crashed in a field at Saint Amant de Bonnieure. The pilot was seriously injured and died a few hours later, while both passengers survived.
