It left its mark on the populations of the countries through which it travelled, for whom it evoked newly regained freedom… and no one has forgotten it!

This date corresponds roughly to the start of the Battle of Dixmude, which raged from mid-October (the first skirmishes took place on the 16th) to 10 November 1914.

FROM THE PORTE DE LA CHAPELLE TO INDOCHINA - The Journey of a Young Frenchman

Contrary to what one might think, the history of the 33ème W-SS Charlemagne is not set in stone following the writings of Saint-Loup and Mabire. The epic adventure of the men who were its soldiers forms the substrate of revelations; many points remain unexplained, the most emblematic being the execution of 12 French SS men at Bad Reichenhall on 8 May 1945...

OUT OF STOCK René Gillet is said to have built his very first motorcycle as early as 1895; this claimed seniority as a motorcycle manufacturer would have allowed him to adopt the slogan "doyenne des marques de motocyclettes françaises" — myth or reality? Other single-cylinder models would follow, but it was around 1905, with his first 45° V-twins, that he...

€14.22 €28.44
From the ashes of the Second World War came forward-thinking fashions, the likes of which had never been seen before.
