1954 A Day at the Six Days of Paris
"Beaucoup de beau monde..."
The Six Days of Paris was a former, annually recurring cycling race dating back to the year 1913.
The first edition was held from 13 to 19 January 1913 in the Vélodrome d'Hiver. In this stadium, the six-day period remained until 1958, when for the time being the last one was held. In 1984 the thread was picked up again, but the Six Days event was moved to the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, where in 1989 the last edition was held. In total, this six-day trip was held 42 times.
The winners of the 1954 Six Days were Roger Godeau & Georges Senfftleben, both French track cyclists.
I wonder if anyone of the guests knew the names...
