On the occasion of the inauguration of the bench erected in the Saint-Germain forest in memory of Pierre Giffard, an exhibition of old vehicles, precursors of the fine bicycles and luxurious automobiles of today, was organized. Here are some photos taken during this picturesque event. Above, in the center Ch.
