Moussa and Odette honoured at the presentation ceremony for the 2016 Tour de France riders

On June 30, the 2016 Tour de France presented the riders’ teams in Sainte-Mère-Église. For the occasion, the theme chosen was the Second World War.

The teams were presented through a series of tableaux, each representing a part of the Second World War. The fourth tableau dealt with the Resistance, honouring four great resisters: Jean Moulin, Germaine Tillion, Odette and Moussa Abadi.

We owe this recognition to the events agency MCI, commissioned by the association “Grand Départ du Tour de France 2016 Manche-Normandie” to organise the team presentation ceremony for the Tour de France.

Moved by the story of Odette and Moussa, which they found during their internet research, the agency got in touch with the association Les Enfants et Amis Abadi.
