Bugattis on the beach, 1929
According to the caption of the book I found this in, this delightful photo by Jacques-Henri Lartigue was supposedly taken at the French Grand Prix at Le Mans in August of 1929, but as far as I know the racetrack at Lemans was nowhere near the ocean. Anyways, a nice shot of a child at the beach.

Are you sure that's a beach? I thought that was a wall behind the car.
Y'know, I wondered the same but before I posted, I asked my kid and he agreed with me- beach- and that's a cargo ship on the horizon in line with the cars. Interesting that you introduce the wall idea again. Now it's all back in question. It's supposed to be a pic of the French Grand Prix at LeMans but where are the crowds?
Photo was taken at the beach resort of La Baule in Brittany. They held races on the beach.
Thank you!
