Unquestionably, the "Trente Glorieuses" [Glorious Thirties] had four wheels! In the aftermath of the Second World War, turning the page meant modernizing the country, producing cars, pulling bridges, digging tunnels, building roads and then highways. The mobility of everyone, everywhere, was overwhelming. To attract buyers, automakers are innovating again: power, volume, sleek lines, colors. Everywhere, service stations and garages ensure that everyone, whether on their way to work or on their vacation, arrives safely. The France of the motoring of the "Glorious Thirty" carries with it a whole mythology, passions, but also, dj, its share of paradoxes, the first traffic jams and the beginning of the contestation of the consumer society. Here is the circuit. Full headlights, and on the way! (Publisher)
