We will have massive traffic restrictions and are already stocking up the fridge, freezer and wine cellar because we probably won't be able to get to the shops, but we are also massively excited: The Tour de France is coming to Vaison! On France's National Day, July 14th they are biking up Mont Ventoux, at around 3.30 pm they are riding through Vaison on their way down. July 15th they are taking a break somewhere secret around Vaison and on the 16th at1.15 pm the start of the day is right in the middle of our town! I can't wait!
Isn't this too exciting. We were scouting out our site today for Thursday when they fly through from Aix en Provence to Montpellier. We've our spot for the Mont Ventoux run also....you are lucky to be so close to the excitement. Enjoy.
ReplyDeletewave to me - I will be the last in the back of the pack trying to ride with a baguette in one hand and a nice bottle of cote du rhone in the other - cheers!! Trout
ReplyDeleteHow lucky for you! I really wish we were going to be there with you in Vaison-la-Romaine. Next time, we have got to plan better. A shame to miss out when they are so close to Sablet; may not happen again for a while.
