Where it came from
Published in 2008 by Carlton Books, Le Tour de France by Serge Laget serves as an illustrated retrospective of the world's most famous cycling race. Written by Laget, a respected cycling journalist and historian, the book was conceived to document the evolution of the Grand Boucle from its modest beginnings in 1903 through the modern era, capturing the grueling nature of the mountain climbs and the dramatic narratives of the peloton.
The book is notable for its use of archival photography and inclusion of removable facsimiles of historical memorabilia, such as race programs and letters. This interactive design approach was intended to provide enthusiasts with a tactile connection to the sport’s heritage. The volume was generally well-received by cycling aficionados for its blend of informative text and visual storytelling, solidifying its place as a comprehensive reference piece for those interested in the cultural and athletic history of professional cycling.
