The archives: Gayant '74

Found in my dusty archives, a few pictuers from Gayant '74.

As in 1998, it was the day of the Worll Cup Final (soccer if you're from America, football for anybody else). We coudl not imagine that it would be 24 years (and Gayant 98) before we cuold see France win the World Cup. On that day, the final took place exactly during the festival and as many groups came from Germany or the Netherlands, the crowd in the streets has to answer a lot of of questions about the score...

In 1974, Douai had not yet lost all its soul...
