This short piece reports on the stand taken by Louis Valat at the 1935 Salon du Cycle in Paris. Louis Valat was a manufacturer and distributer of bicycle frames, bicycle frame tubing and bicycle components, based in Saint-Étienne.

The piece is notable because it mentions a 'Super-Rapide' (with an 'e') derailleur.
