The Souvenir Henri Desgrange is a prize presented by the organizers and awarded yearly in the Tour de France. It is awarded to honor TdF founder Henri Desgrange, who died in 1940. The prize is won by the rider who crosses the highest summit in the Tour.
Following the death of Desgrange in August 1940, an award was given in his honor for the first time in the 1947 Tour, the first Tour since 1939, having been cancelled during World War II. The first prize was awarded on Stage 11 in 1947, when to Tour passed Desgrange's final residence, the "Villa Mia" in Beauvallon, Grimaud, on the French Riviera.
The Souvenir Henri Desgrange would evolve and in the 1965 Tour, the Galibier (Desgrange’s favorite climb) became ‘THE’ climb of the SHD. It has always been used when it was on the race route for that year.
