Content : Getting Lino out is no easy task — the moment he crosses his doorstep, loneliness is waiting for him.
But that changes the day his granddad Ulysses takes him on an odyssey… on two wheels.

By Ulysses’s side, Lino discovers not only the thrill of cycling but also his grandfather’s ultimate challenge: climbing the majestic, untameable Mont Ventoux.

Humour, warmth and nostalgia — Pascal Ruter’s signature blend.
