«Mes rayons de soleil» is a bicycle travel narrative by Louis Nucera, published by B. Grasset in hardback (274 pages, in French).
Louis Nucera relives on a bicycle the 1949 Tour de France, won by Fausto Coppi: 4,813 kilometres through Reims, Saint-Malo, Bordeaux, Nimes, Briançon and Nancy. The book brings together stories and portraits of the people of the road: a silenced schoolteacher, a Norman who talks to birds, a vagabond from Toulouse who mixes rugby and troubadours.
Originally published in 1987 and catalogued as a biography of cyclists and bicycle travel through France (Dewey 796.6/092 B).
For readers interested in cycling, French travel literature and chronicles with human portraits around the Tour de France.
Louis Nucéra was an award-winning 20th-century French writer. He published his first novel L'obstiné in 1970.
