Good tips on the museum pass. Maybe you'll pass the Velodrome d'Hiver monument, site of both thrilling track races and one of the worst razzia's against the European Jewry. Leave it to Ernest H. for a description, opr rather non-descirption of it's pre-war glory. "I have started many stories about bicycle racing but have never written one that is as good as the races are both on the indoor and outdoor tracks and on the road. But I will get to the Vélodrome d'Hiver with the smoky light of the afternoon and the high-banked wooden track and the whirring sound the tyres made on the wood as the riders passed, the effort and the tactics as the riders climbed and plunged, each one a part of his machine... I must write the strange world of six-day races and the marvels of the road-racing in the mountains. French is the only language it has ever been written in properly and the terms are all French and that is what makes it hard to write." [SUP][/SUP]
