Louis Canadas – Tour

In the spring of 2020, the Tour de France was cancelled. The course of this edition had nevertheless been revealed by the organization: the sports competition existed on paper, but there would be no cyclists on the roads. This Ghost Tour opened up a breach: the opportunity to play with the great national narrative to write, in its shadow, another story.

For 40 days, Louis Canadas followed these imaginary steps, never straying more than a few meters from the official route. He photographed the France that would never know the flash: fields, mountains, workers at rest, exits from the road, wolves, deserted shops.
