I was poking around the Le Mond site, and ran across a feature where they run the Pathé newsreel from 50 years ago. This week'e edition has a fairly extensive report on the 1954 Tour, with lots of cool video.

When you go to that URL, you'll have two choices:
"Video bas debit" (low bandwidth) and "Video haut debit" (high bandwidth.)
"Charger" doesn't mean that they charge for it, that's just French for "download."
Enjoy
