Notre Dame des Cyclistes

The chapel of Notre-Dame des Cyclistes is situated in the commune of Labastide-d'Armagnac in Les Landes département in Aquitaine, France.

In 1958,[citation needed] it was converted into a Museum of Cycling in aid of French racing and touring cyclists.

Numerous champions have donated their shirts, including André Darrigade, Jacques Anquetil, Louison Bobet, Tom Simpson, Roger Lapébie, Jean Stablinski, Bernard Hinault, Raymond Poulidor, Eddy Merckx, and Luis Ocaña[2] The chapel includes a stained glass window designed and created by Henri Anglade, a former rider of the Tour de France, to represent cycling.

It was reportedly intended to celebrate a thaw in the intense rivalry between Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali, as they shared a bottle (bidon) on the Col d'Izoard during the 1952 Tour de France.
