In Saint-Raphaël, during the 13th Rallye Paris–Saint-Raphaël Féminin of 1952, Gilberte Thirion's No. 72 Porsche 356 SL "Super Leicht" is parked with its hood open. While a man in a dark suit inspects the engine compartment, Thirion remains in the driver's seat, wearing a light-colored hat. Spectators gather behind a wooden fence displaying a banner for "L'Action Automobile & Touristique". A road sign in the background points towards Cannes, indicating the final stretch of the all-female rally.
