The first French Grand Prix took place on a 64-mile ( 103 km ) circuit based at Le Mans in 1906.

Nuvolari countered that he was a leading Grand Prix driver and Le Mans was a simple layout that would not trouble him, to which Sommer backed down and they agreed to divide the driving equally.

It was adapted in 1970 as the TV movie Das Millionenspiel, and again in 1983 as the movie Le Prix du Danger.

While almost all of the Prix de Rome cantatas have long since been forgotten ( along with their composers, for the most part ), Debussy's prize-winning L ' enfant prodigue ( 1884, following his unsuccessful Le gladiateur of 1883 ) is still performed occasionally today.

Le Feu drew criticism at the time for its harsh naturalism, but won the Prix Goncourt.

After that the 1928 French Grand Prix was held in nearby Saint-Gaudens, Pau also wanted to arrange the race and in 1930 the French Grand Prix was held on a Le Mans-type track outside the city with Philippe Étancelin winning for Bugatti.

Another uncle, Maurice Trintignant ( 1917 – 2005 ), was a Formula One driver who twice won the Monaco Grand Prix as well as the Le Mans.

Well-known recipients of the Prix de Rome included the architect Tony Garnier, who, instead of concentrating his studies on the ancient ruins, used his time at the Academy ( between 1899 and 1904 ) principally to develop his ideas for the development of a modern industrial city ( Une Cité Industrielle, published in 1918 ), a precursor of later modernist urban and architectural ideas of twentieth century architects such as Le Corbusier.

Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol (: " The Theater of the Big Puppet ") — known as the Grand Guignol — was a theatre in the Pigalle area of Paris ( at 20 bis, rue Chaptal ).

Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol was founded in 1894 by Oscar Méténier, who planned it as a space for naturalist performance.

The audience at " Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol " endured the terror of the shows because they wanted to be filled with strong “ feelings ” of something.

The sixth production, Theatre of Fear, included De Lorde's famous adaptation of Poe's The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether ( Le Systéme du Dr Goudron et Pr Plume ) as well as two original plays, Double Crossed and The Good Death alongside The Tell Tale Heart.

The first depictions of supernatural events appear in several of the silent shorts created by the film pioneer Georges Méliès in the late 1890s, the best known being Le Manoir du diable ( aka, The Haunted Castle, 1896 ) which is sometimes credited as being the first horror film.

His books included Le Dernier Roman du Monde ( 1971 ), Portrait des 9 ( 1975 ), The Cosmographical Lobster ( 1976 ), Poésie Sonore Internationale ( 1979 ), Les Riches Heures de l ' Alphabet ( 1992 ) and Graphpoemesmachine ( 2006 ).
