Details: This outdoor vélodrome goes by a few names, the Stade-Vélodrome Jacques Anquetil, Vélodrome de Vincennes, and also La Cipale. It was built in 1896 and hosted the finish of the Tour de France from 1968 to 1974, after which the finish was moved to the Champs-Élysées. The site was neglected and was officially closed in 1980. An initiative in 2015 got the vélodrome operable once again and now hosts local club events and other community activities.
