A painted mural of a cyclist stretches across the brick side of a building on the Rue de Trezel. It depicts a man in a black and white jersey gripping his handlebars, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. This wall honors the birth of the Tour de France, which held its very first start in this neighborhood back in nineteen oh three. The artist used muted colors to match the vintage atmosphere of that initial race, where riders wore heavy wool jerseys.
