PARIS - Two Chinese pandas landed in Paris Sunday for a new life in a French zoo in a loan sealed after years of top-level negotiations between China and France. The “Panda Express”, a Boeing 777 specially decorated with a panda motif, carried the bears from Sichuan province to Charles de Gaulle airport, where China’s ambassador to Paris and zoo staff were on hand to greet them. Huan Huan and Yuan Zi re the first pandas sent to France since 1973, when Yen Yen was given to then president Georges Pompidou along with another panda, which died shortly after arriving. The latest furry ambassadors, specially selected for their breeding potential by their keepers in the city of Chengdu, are bound for Beauval zoo in the Loire region of central France for a 10-year stay.
