Le Tour part 1

We'd been hanging out for the Tour, and finally the day arrived. Stage 6, Thursday 4th July.

No matter what they claim, it was not an Anne-Catherine production

And we had to tell Peter to stop trying to steal the limelight.

We arrived on the road to Les Baux, about 10 km over the range from St Remy,
and our first sight was .....

... a family of cyclists from Phillip Island.

Just after we arrived, the Gendarmerie closed off the road ......

... in both directions.

Typical French road sign. This is on a T-intersection at the junction of the D5 and the D17.

We were parked on this corner, under the tree.

An outrider of le Caravan.

An innocent bystander

Waiting, waiting .......

A Frenchman who owns a restaurant in Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, grafitti-ing the road.

A bit of local colour.

Two yellow jerseys!

At last, Le Caravan, which went on for over an hour.

  1. You say the wait is worth it. I wonder???????????

    I hope you all remembered the music from the Mickey Mouse Club.
    What team did Mickey represent?

    I'm sorry you didn't bring the mobile home or a couple of bikes.
