It was like The Tour de France was following us this year. First it passed in our hometown, then it passed in the village where Lolo's mother lives and then it started in Lolo's birth town. We only went to watch it in the village, but it was the first time I ever saw the Tour de France circus coming in. The caravan of publicity vehicles was fun to see. They throw giveaways, mostly for the kids I would think. I swear I almost punched some people (grandmothers mostly) in the crowd, doing everything to get the goodie, leaving nobody unharmed in their goal to get that giveaway. They were really aggressive. Unbelievable. It is also unbelievable how fast these cyclist drive by.
They are back out of the village before you have time to blink.
