A week ago, there was the Departure of the Tour de France Cycling 2009 in Monaco. The city is 10 minutes driving from my country house.
The commercial cars then the cyclists such as Lance Armstrong passed meters from my country house in La Turbie. Actually, I only had to go up the stairs to the main road and there I was to see them.
I don't like much, actually, not at all cycling I and never watch the Tour de France on TV as I find this sport absolutely boring! But the commercial cars were pretty funny to see passing by and it was fun to get some presents the cars were giving to the people on the road.
I got some cups I will never wear, shopping bags I may use once or twice before they are totaly ruined (lol!), bottle of beer openers (they will be very useful for this summer fiestas on the beaches ) key rings, T-shirts useful to become pyjamas and more stuff I don't realy know the use...
























And then the cyclists...












And some more commercials...






I love this one, it's so funny!



To escape the agitation of the coming tourists and the summer by the sea, I went up to the mountains this week-end. I am also looking to buy a flat in the sky station close to Nice. It's only 1hour driving from homr and it's so quiete up there!
These pictures were taken at 1500m high and the mountains around climb up to 2000m and some still have specks of snow. It's the National Park of Mercantour. I've not seen the wolves, maybie next time.
