Dear Jane and Tony Dear Patrick and Stuart It was sooooo exhilarating and thrilling being there sooo excited of the special moment, when the bicycles Tour de france. went by, us it was overwhelming, the helicopters, the cheering, the beginning of the race with all the sponsorship floats, I have never seen that before, and all the other cars and support teams and the replacement bikes it was truly wonderful being there so close to the riders .I live on the other side of the world in Australia, so Thank you for the video of this special bicycle race

Love from us at Colombe ❤❤❤

[@lesley-annecarle]

Thank you

I’ve been watching the Tour de France on TV for 20 years. I’d love love love to see it in person. Thanks for filming. Some helicopters film and other ferry big shots around each day to watch the tour. Each team has to carry extra bikes for each rider fit to their specifications. Since this was a flat stage the bikes stay together in a peloton to keep out of the wind. Remember these men are riding every day for about 3 weeks. Each stage is different. It’s the greatest sporting event ever.

Not many shady trees there. Good to see you all sharing happy companionship.Lovely to see the happy floats.Love the animals and fruits.

[@cherylmcnair5594]

I really enjoyed this episode Jane, Patrick and Stuart are the best. Thanks for the slow motion clip of the cyclists, at the end, they looked fantastic. I do love the rural environment ❤😊

[@normamurray4450]

That was wonderful Jane! It was so nice to be there on the side of the road with you all. I watched Patrick and Stuart's video as well so I really felt a part of it! Thank you!

[@jakeg1421]

Agree many thanks Jane, as a family we watch La Tour every year, you and the boys really helped make it more relatable, spectator view of La Tour, we never see the caravan in action, so many many thanks! 👍🙏🫶😎🇳🇿

So elegant Jane! What an event!!! I had no idea. I've seen cyclists in Paris and a Tour in Quebec city, but nothing like this. WOW they do pass by very fast! Amazing floats too. Ahahahaha look at Patrick's hip action: only dance ❤ two hours? They were passing so fast. Ahahahaha the gendarm acro5the road must of been entertained by you lot 😁

[@amysimpson646]

You look so pretty, Jane. That hat suits you so well. I love hats and wear them often. Thank you, again!!!

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Oh thank you Amy, it was very hot and humid, so not my best look but necessary LOL

[@amysimpson646]

@@notquiteachateaudiy I think you looked extra lovely. It gave Tony another chance to show off his young wife.😉

[@y.lelivelt2619]

To me this is so familiar,a chair and a drink is al you need to see the caravan and the cyclists. Next week starts the biggest event in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.The Four Days March. Then I will sit and watch the people walking,the distance of 50 kilometer a day.

[@annettesharrock1236]

What a lovely experience even though it a long wait Jane and Tony . Thankyou for sharing Jane ❤

The policeman standing next to Tony was cute

[@patrickjourneytothechateau9452]

He was for sure. And friendly. And his wife and 8 month old baby were also adorable. Hugs from Colombe.

[@soniagallaher3544]

Wonderful! Hope you got lots of freebies.

[@UnicornPurple-ut8wf]

Talk about “drafting”! Scary how close they bike…a wedge into the wind

[@toots4205]

What a wonderful day out! I thought that was a water bottle that flew at you guys 😮 im glad it was a hat and no one got knocked out ❤

[@susandewolfe4876]

Love the vlog Jane . I didn't take any pics or videos so am thrilled you captured my day with you all. Not sure if you got my best side in the thumbnail thoughLOL!!!! 😅 Keep up the great vlogging! It was wonderful to meet you and Tony. My dad always took catnaps like Tony and he was a whiz with power tools and projects as well. Cheers from Toronto

I’ll assume this is not the first time Tony’s taken a nap in a ditch. Looks like a good time was had by all. I believe there’s an app you could have followed the cyclist on to see exactly where they were.

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

He likes a power nap now and again Machelle, not often in a ditch but it was the most comfortable place! Stuart was following the race on an app for us yes xx

Thank you Rodney, it was fun and they threw lots of free stuff at us. Was a bit worried when they threw cans of beer and Orangina though, but they threw them in the ditch not at us!

[@rosebud-ame]

@@notquiteachateaudiyJane please show us the goodies you got! 🍬🥫🍭🧢

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

@@rosebud-ame Hi Amy we took home very little as some of it was given to a little boy who arrived with his grandad after school but had missed the caravan. There were a lot of hats, keyrings, sample packets of detergent, haribo sweeties, mini dried sausages, bottle openers, tea cloths, wrist bands, mini crackers, cans of orangina and non alcoholic beer, shopping bags etc.etc.
