Cycling / The difficult Tour 1947 Lot of 5 invoices testifying to the improvisation of the organizer who had to buy "in bulk" from small shops The 34th edition of the Tour in 1947, that of the recovery after the Second World War, would be complicated by shortages of gasoline, tires and worries about supplying the riders. These invoices testify to the improvisation of the organizer, who had to buy "in bulk" from grocers, pastry chefs and wholesalers, jam, coffee, cookies, sugar, bread, etc. Sometimes in Pont-Chateau (stamped with a fiscal stamp), Barcelonnette, Montpellier, Carcassonne (4 crates of bananas) or Digne (with a rare stamp from the organization). It's a miracle that these documents, in average condition, have survived the passage of time to bear witness to the history and strength of the Tour de France.
