The excitement is building with only a week to go until the Tour De France 2011 comes past the end of our road near to Montrichard. It's not something we've ever been concerned about previously, but this year we've already got our seats booked.
It's definitely not the Alps here with a big hill being a couple of hundred metres high, but our grandstand (well, a couple of folding picnic chairs) is on a long uphill stretch so we should see the cyclists doing a bit of work. I hope that we don't feel too guilty munching our baguettes and slurping down some cheap wine while the cyclists are working so hard in the scorching midday heat.
The forecast from Meteo is for it to be slightly overcast and 25°C so we're really looking forward to chilling out for a couple of hours while the caravan meanders past us.
