and began the revival of the Olympic Games. Many of his writings,
however, are in sources that are obscure and difficult to obtain.
The majority have not been translated from the original French.
The most complete set of his writings, as well as his personal
papers and letters, is in the library of the International Olympic
Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland.
