Anyway, will not want the Tour de France will occupy the space Media in France, Quebec, elsewhere in Europe, elsewhere in America, and more ...

The Tour de France. The France tour .
Plantu 's eyes, delicate and insightful, fact we see from the angle I would say the 44-56.

The Tower of Foglia and c. RONIC French did not take a spot of rust. Lance Armstrong is still rolling .. . Pierre Foglia speaks of himself and others, or missing the Tour forever. The layman, it gives the Tour of France, roads and skies, landscapes. In cyclo warned, it gives gear *.
"And both, I give stories of men who go after their strength, their courage, their talent. (...) Their little dead on the road for a moment distract us from our own written in heaven. "

No man can serve two masters at once! Except ... Pierre Foglia. Profane I am, I read and reread his whole book, by taking pleasure. Foglia has a knack ... stimulate and sustain interest. He surprises us by surprise at the turn ... it hurts ... makes us laugh. In short, the author is a keen observer, and he tells well. We feel that he loves the bike and the riders themselves if they rubbed the ears he loves France and us.

Read how beautiful :

[] At Saint-Valery. "Beautiful park, deserted at this early hour, facing the sea, its bluish washed asphalt from the spray of fresh morning."

[] Thonon-les-Bains (Switzerland). "I still believe that what we call culture is above all a personal landscape. All roads, skies, school yards planted with lime trees, slate roofs, the factor that pass a bicycle, where the facades clinging ivy, cs all places, the smells, the bottom of mirabelle garden, the pale gold fruit, all the trees that inhabit us since childhood and suddenly we're missing. "
Two examples among many others.

[] And those names of places that are, in themselves, poems and stories : Bergere-les-Vertus, blackthorn, Malminou ... Congouillette les Candlesnuffer ... which concludes the book.

[] Imagine the scene. Pierre Foglia encounter, in the press room, Jacqueline Sadoux, a French woman who had taught in Quebec, was then returned to France. "Tell me again where you are? - Congouillette les Candlesnuffer, replied the lady. - Madam, let me call you on the spot, president of my fan club. I pose two conditions: that you're the only member, and especially that you would never move. "

Parts made me laugh to tears: the pearls found in the French press, the story on bilberries and blueberries are my favorite, besides laughter Pierre Foglia.

Cycle, it keeps you fit! Just as humor ...

Good Sunday!

* Psst! Here's what you look good and you round the calf. The gear: it is a "multiplication ratio (between the plate and pinion) regulating the development of a bicycle." To get the picture does not ... The derailleur may help: it "allows you to change gears." The little as big. Foglia is not who says it is the Little Robert.En short, the gear ratio is a sort of exerciser, whatever!
