"The goal is to come together and share a passion for vintage motorcycles. Some people are handy with mechanics, while others prefer to ride and introduce people to old motorcycles that are no longer seen on the roads today. These are museum motorcycles," explains Pierre Bruneteau, organiser of the 'Tour de France à motos anciennes' ('Tour de France on vintage motorcycles') . Fifty bikers meet in Guignicourt, in the Aisne, to cover more than 4,000 km over three weeks, heading towards the Pyrenees. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
