The house of Santos Dumont, the father of aviation, resembles a Swiss chalet, and its staircase is a curiosity
Santos Dumont, a famous Brazilian aviator, was the first to fly around the Eiffel Tower. In Brazil, he is nicknamed the "father of aviation". In 1906, he was the first man to fly for fifteen minutes in his 14 Bi. His house looks like a Swiss chalet. His staircase is a curiosity: Santos Dumont was very superstitious, so he had it built in such a way that you always have to climb the first step with your right foot, which is supposed to bring good luck.
