2 photos from Le Parisien Libere, 26 February of an unknown year. The first shows Mme. Chapuis and an unknown rider near the Porte de Versailles (maybe? correct me if I'm wrong - I'm guessing based on the tower in the photo...), the second, her and a different rider "after her accident". I'm presuming this photo to be from the late 1940s, as the Porte de Versailles would only have been on the race course after 1936, and Mme. Chapuis was the wife of Chapuis, who raced in the late 1940s/early 1950s.
2 photos from Miroir Sprint, page 23 of an unknown issue, most likely in the mid-1960s. The first shows that year's winner, Michel Gourillon, crossing the finish line, the second, Gourillon with La Houppa, Francoise Deldick (actress/singer), and Robert Rollis (actor)
