According to the photographer, the only way to discover the American continent is to travel it behind the wheel of a car. He compares them to cowboy mounts. Olivier Lavielle offers us an escape on Route 66. Connecting Chicago to Los Angeles, 66 crosses the United States from one side to the other. In 1926, it was the first paved transcontinental road in the United States. Although, since 1985, Route 66 has no longer had an official existence, it remains legendary in the collective imagination.
