You may have come across the Paris-Brest gateau which is a ring-shaped pastry, filled with cream and sprinkled with almonds and icing sugar, made to resemble a bicycle wheel. It was created by a Patissier whose shop was on the route of the annual cycle race from Paris to Brest, which was the forerunner of the Tour de France.
