PETITE ANECDOTE
In 1965, on the occasion of the criterium tour in Brittany, Felice Gimondi, the brand new winner of the Tour de France accompanied by Arnold Pambianco, winner of the 1961 Giro, stopped at the Plouguernével restaurant run at the time by Mr. and Mrs. Leparc. I was there with my father and I was the first to recognize the great champion. A moment immortalized by a photo and an unforgettable memory.
