🚲 Zola à bicyclette ? Oui, vraiment !

On connaît Émile Zola l’écrivain… beaucoup moins Zola le passionné de vélo.

Dans Zola à bicyclette. Libre et dans le vent, @Jean-Paul Vespini nous entraîne dans le Paris de la fin du XIXe siècle, au moment où la bicyclette devient un véritable phénomène de société.

Mode, liberté, écrivains en selle et petite révolution sur deux roues : une lecture drôle, vivante et instructive.

📚 Découvrez la chronique d’Anne Smith sur notre blog.
