A closer look to the genesis of the Django adventure
FROM SAIGON TO PARIS: 1956
Once upon a time, in 1956, Michel Vaslin and Serge Cracuin traveled 17000 km by scooter from Saigon to Paris. They drove their Peugeot S57 for more than 4 months. After leaving Saigon on the 21st April 1956, they arrived in Paris on the 25th August
The two french leading seamen explored Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Jordania, Yougoslavia, Italia, France and many more countries on their Scooters S57 Peugeot, the model that inspired the DJANGO.
