There are many things really nice about France; the foods, the wines, the fragrance of lavender from Provence and the excitement of going there. On July 14, 2013 a few French companies and organizations are getting together to celebrate a classic French icon, theVELOSOLEX. The following companies:
L’OCCITANE,SENSUSGROUP, D’ARTAGNAN, beaumarchais, BALTHAZAR, DELSEY, J U L I E N F A R E L, AFFINAGE, Bonne Maman, LE RUSTIQUE, LILLET, Luminarc, ALPINE SELECTIONS,
festivalSud de France, NOVOTELHOTELS, david kessel
The Alliance Francaise - French Institute and:
The Consulate General of France in New York
Will pay hommage to VELOSOLEX and it's French cousins, the automobiles of Citroen. While driving around in New York City in a vintage French car may not be practical, riding a brand new VELOSOLEX to get from Point 'A' to Point 'B' certainly is. Fuel efficient, time effective, as easy to park as any bicycle and of course fun, in French or English there is only one word VELOSOLEX.
20 Dutch riders go by Velosolex transcontinental across the US via Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica (look Maman no toxic batteries to discard along the way).
