Fantastic - thanks for posting that. The Vel d'Hiv is a very significant 'lieu de memoire' for the French, not just for its cycling history, but also because it was there that the nazis and French collaborators held many, many thousands of French Jews before they were deported. It will be interesting to see how this appears in HCB's pictures.
