LES 6 JOURS DE PARIS
Gérard Bliekast, France, 1934
 

 

 

A rare beautiful oldie that I have received as a gift from the Collection Pierre & Bilou (to which I am eternally indebted, for this gift and for many others). The game is named after the famous race held annually at the Vel d'Hiv track.

 

There is not a maker's name on this game, but the board is signed (and dated!) by the Alsacian painter Gérard Bliekast (1912-1990).

 

No cyclist-shaped counters, unfortunately.

 

    

    

Remark some audience members (one at each top corner of the board)  holding a paper where "PRIME" is written.

 

 

Despite its name, this game does not represent a track cycling race. It is simply a game of goose.
