Cycling / Prehistory / Journey "From the Seine to the Volga" P. LANCRENON (captain of artillery), drawings by L. Gentil (captain of artillery). Hardback, 1898, 405 pages, 22.5x16. This magnificent volume belongs here, as our traveler bicycles from Belfort to St. Petersburg, from pages 149 to 189 (40 astonishing pages). Beware, the Bisontinese Marie, Paul, Mathieu Lancrenon (1857-1922) is a considerable figure. Polytechnicien, artilleryman, brigadier general in 1914 and division general in 1917, he was a traveler with a thousand eyes, like Lieutenant Guyot. At the time, he was paddling all over Europe, for pleasure and adventure, and perhaps because he was still a bit of a military man. These 40 velocipedic pages deserve to be remembered. His canot Vagabonde III has been restored and is on display at the Musée de Douarnenez.
