Topologie algébrique, chapter III, § 3. Groupoïde de Poincaré

Let X be an arcwise connected topological space and let xx be a point of X. Proposition 6 makes it possible to define a canonical bijection of the set of free homotopy classes of loops in X onto the set of conjugacy classes in π1(X,x)\pi_1(X, x).

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
