The tribute is sober and symbolic, in memory of Antoine.

This 12-year-old boy fell fatally on his bike on April 15 as a truck passed him on a long straight in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

A moment of meditation is planned this Saturday at the cemetery of Triel-sur-Seine, the city from which this young athlete was from and where he was educated, at the Collège des Châtelaines.

Before that, a bicycle rally is organized from 3 p.m., departing from Vernouillet.

The cyclist procession will first meet at Parc des Buissons, on Boulevard de l'Europe, before crossing the Seine towards Triel.

A pot launched

Holding a bicycle tribute is quite a symbol according to the town hall of Triel-sur-Seine.

The latter is marked by this "appalling drama" which "calls for a reaction vis-à-vis the traffic conditions" and the sharing of the road "which is not always suitable".

On the day of the tragedy, Antoine was driving in the company of an adult and another young person on the long axis crossing the site of the water treatment plant (Siaap), a road at 70 km / h in an off-center area with little traffic except that of heavy goods vehicles.

The teenager would have lost his balance when a mixer truck passed him and the machine could not avoid him.

An online prize pool has also been launched by relatives of the family, on the Leetchi platform.

Gathering this Saturday, April 24, at 3 p.m. at the Parc des Buissons, at 83, boulevard de l'Europe, in Vernouillet.

Departure at 3.30 p.m. towards the cemetery of Triel-sur-Seine.
