In 1919, following World War I, race organizers and journalists set off from Paris to see how much of the race route had survived the years of shelling and trench warfare.

Early on, everything seemed alright, France had survived. But, as they neared the north, the air began to reek, the trees were all blackened stumps and everywhere was mud and destruction. The only word to describe it was Hell! And, that's how it appeared the next day in the papers and every day since... 'the Hell of the North', 'L'enfer du Nord'.

Make a statement in any room with this framed poster, printed on thick, durable, matte paper. The matte black frame that's made from wood from renewable forests adds an extra touch of class.
