A vol de vélo : De Paris à Vienne by Édouard de Perrodil
"A vol de vélo : De Paris à Vienne" by Édouard de Perrodil is an adventurous travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the thrilling journey taken by the author and his companions, primarily focusing on the challenges and experiences they face while cycling from Paris to Vienna. Central to the journey are the dynamic interactions among the group and the various personalities they encounter along the way.
The opening of the narrative establishes the framework for the journey, detailing the preparations leading up to the departure on April 23, 1894. The author and his friend, Louis Willaume, embark on this cycling expedition with specific goals and expectations, but not without addressing the bureaucratic complexities of customs and the potential issues of traveling through various regions.

The author humorously reflects on the need to adjust plans due to unexpected circumstances, foreshadowing the trials they are likely to encounter as they pedal toward their destination.
