Bertrand Trichet

Il est des pèlerinages d’inspiration divine quand d’autres procèdent des passions terrestres. Ainsi, lorsque le chrétien chemine vers Compostelle, le fidèle de la petite reine grimpe l’Izoard animé d’une ferveur similaire ; mais que l’on croit en Dieu ou en ce diable de Fausto Coppi, c’est dans le sillage d’un plus grand que soi que l’on se met en route.

There are pilgrimages of divine inspiration while others proceed from earthly passions. Thus, when the Christian walks towards Compostela, the faithful of cycling climbs the Izoard, animated by a similar fervor; but whether one believes in God or in this devil of Fausto Coppi, it is in the wake of a greater than oneself that one sets out.
