In "Touch Wood"', Duncan Hamilton (whom I acknowledge isn't always the most accurate historian!) refers to the sweeping bend bypassing Gueux as "Heliopolis". I've never seen the corner called by this name in any other reference sources - does it have any provenance? For what it's worth, Hawthorn is reported to have regarded this bend as one of the most challenging in the world, up there with the pit bend at Bremgarten.
Just to tidy up the evolution of the track, the original circuit passing through the village of Gueux lasted until 1951; the bend bypassing Gueux was built in time for the 1953 GP. The track then turned right at a new corner, Virage de la Hovette, and then continued on its original route up to Virage de la Garenne. For 1954 the new section was added beyond Hovette to rejoin RN 31 nearer to Soissons at Muizon. The Garenne section lapsed at this point and was never reactivated for racing, though it remained as part of the test course.
