From the iconic Tour de France sunflowers that line the roads to the official map of the 1950 stage, every aspect of this exhilarating sport leaves an indelible mark. In black and white photographs, we glimpse into the past as Roger Lapebie conquers the Tour de France in 1933, his determination etched on his face.

Not only do these athletes captivate us with their skill and endurance but they are also part of a larger narrative.

Meanwhile, Humbert bicycles take center stage in a mesmerizing poster by Choubrac circa 1895 - showcasing how transportation evolves alongside our passion for cycling. As we delve into this rich tapestry of cyclisme's history and culture, one thing becomes clear: it is more than just a sport; it is an art form that transcends time.
