Results:
(These figures are mainly sourced from the list of official results that were published in "L'Aérophile". The results given in newspapers and other sources often differ from each other, and the same applies to the length of the stages. Several of the prizes differ considerably from those published before the contest, and in the programs of the different stages, probably because unawarded prize money was redistributed.)
