Stéphane Gachet retraces the lives of the 1,266 French Olympic medalists at the Summer Olympics since 1896, most of them forgotten. Since 1896, the year of the first edition of the modern Summer Olympic Games, in Athens, and until Tokyo in 2021, until Paris 2024.

More than six hundred pages to peck through, infinitely rich and full of anecdotes, these incredible stories came from. Jules Dubois, the missing navigator Stéphanes Gachen.
