Tour de France, Stage 5: Saint Jean de Barrou.

Today saw the Tour de France zip through a village close to us. We loaded up the car with our folding chairs and motored up to Saint Jean de Barrou. We found a good spot and set up the chairs and got settled in for a long wait. The publicity caravan of vehicles arrived on the dot at 1.30pm and various goodies where thrown to the waiting crowd. The cyclists were a bit behind schedule and arrived at about 3.30pm. 60 seconds later it was all over.

I think the credit crunch must have affected the Tour de France this year because there seemed to be a lot less promotion vehicles and the ones that were there seemed to be giving out a lot less freebies than they did last year when the Tour de France passed through our village.
