Saussine, France, 10s/ 50s

Two games in one. The cycling game is played on the outer circuit (while the "grand rallye" is played on the map of France). It's just another Game Of Goose (no strategy at all), where players receive bonus points if they pass first through fields marked with blue circles (supposed to be the towns at the end of the stages, though you do not stop on them). A couple of stages (Bordeaux-La Rochelle and Nantes-Caen, both six squares long) must be completed in a maximum of two throws of the die.

 

Contents of the boxes. Obviously the longer box is the "deluxe" version, featuring painted riders. Notice that there are 6 riders and only 5 cars, but that the way the game is. No car is missing here!

By the way, the leader of the race is supposed to take the yellow cyclist.

This game has been around since the 1910s. It was formerly known as  "Jeu des Touristes" or "Jeu des Touristes et du Velodrome" and even "Nos Cyclistes à travers la France et la Belgique et Jeu de Vélodrome" .  The earlier versions of the game had old-style metal riders (and cars).

The old version of the board had the games' rules printed on the board. It featured a Zeppelin on one of the corners (all the drawings in the corners were different, in fact), and a pre-Weimar Republic flag in a militarized Germany. The later version has demilitarized the German border, but not the Atlantic coast, which is still heavyly armed.

(Sorry for the bad condition of this board... it's almost 100 years old)
