Journal of the Touring Club de France;
Paris. Touring Club de France, circa 1900.
A collection of 31 volumes (out of 33 issues published), in-4°. Paperback. Numerous photographic illustrations within and outside the text.
In 1890, a group of young cyclists founded the Touring Club de France to encourage cycle tourism and develop the nascent tourism industry.
The Touring Club de France encouraged photographers, both professional and amateur, to send in photographs of monuments – all monuments, whether well-known or obscure.
The journal *Sites et Monuments* was thus enriched with a wealth of illustrations.
