A long ribbon of asphalt stretching across the United States from Chicago to Los Angeles, Route 66 is more than just a road; it is the road. For travel enthusiasts and lovers of wide-open spaces, its ardent defenders consider this thoroughfare a living, tangible piece of American heritage that must be preserved at all costs. Of the "old road," definitively abandoned a quarter of a century ago, what remains today of the vestiges of a bygone era, symbols of a conquering America? Are there only rare fragments preserved and now marked as Historic Route 66? Or are there only minute traces that its inhabitants, deeply attached to their land, passionately strive to preserve? This is what Stéphane Dugast and Christophe Geral sought to discover by traveling Route 66 on legendary Harley-Davidson motorcycles, from Lake Michigan to the Pacific Ocean. A book to discover America, the Great West, and Route 66, a road that has become legendary, in a new light.
