Long live sports, live the tour

De Gérard Holtz

The exceptional course of journalist Gérard Holtz allowed him to meet many sports professionals, he kept photos, a balloon, letters, a snowshoe, a bicycle, a hat... And mostly memories!

This passionate about sport and a born storyteller walks us behind the scenes of the great champions, making us cry with the love story of Marcel Cerdan or laugh with the misogynie of Coubertin. He tells us the details of the great story: how the Tour de France was born, how women were long gone from the Olympic Games, doping, racism, friendships, resistances, the incredible courage of these braves, efforts, accidents, loves, secrets... A kind of 'Mille et une Nuits' of sport, a tale that offers us an intimate reading of the greatest where Gérard Holtz will be a tale, then character of these incredible adventures.
