Manège Terront / Vélodrome de la Madeleine. 1896.
Look beyond our smartly dressed cyclist and you’ll find a scene of utter urban chaos: a traffic jam of carts and horses, a carriage that appears to be tipping over, and men yelling in the streets. Au revoir to all that! Our leading lady is off to the velodrome in Madeleine where she can experience the serenity of unencumbered cruising. The track was built on a fairground in 1894 by the Velo-Club Mayenne and became a stronghold for the sport of cycling in the 1930s. Today, the track continues to host cycling clubs and students from the nearby school.
