Tour de France / Tour de l’Avenir 1961 Bar Tray - DAURÉ CRUZ

From the "Dolce Vita" years!
This tray, from the 1961 Tour de France, presents the race of that year’s Tour and also mentions the Tour de l'Avenir race.

For several glasses. From the early 1950s through the late 1970s, beer and spirit companies plied the bars of France with Tour de France-inspired metal beer trays.  Two sizes were typical, one that transported two glasses of frosty happiness, the other designed more for a group of fans ready to enjoy the whole day. 

Most of beverage manufacturers were original and periodically produced personalized trays to celebrate the Tour de France. Each tray featured a map of France and detailed the year's stages. Colors were brightly printed on each sturdy metal tray, whose dimensions accommodated from two to six drinks.
