- The route for the Tour de France, stage 10, was at the end of the road leading to Patrick and Stuart's Chateau, so they hosted a lunch party and then we all went to see the spectacle...

We are Tony and Jane and we are living in and renovating our old Relais De Poste/Coaching Inn.
We live in the middle of France in a region called The Berry.
We have over 40 rooms to renovate so there is plenty of work to be done. We also love to trawl the local Brocantes, flea markets and antique shops for quirky furnishings and furniture.
We love to find out about local history and often visit other peoples buildings including our friends’ Chateaux.

I really enjoyed this episode Jane, Patrick and Stuart are the best. Thanks for the slow motion clip of the cyclists, at the end, they looked fantastic. I do love the rural environment ❤😊
Dear Jane and Tony
Dear Patrick and Stuart
It was sooooo exhilarating and thrilling being there sooo excited of the special moment, when the bicycles Tour de france. went by, us it was overwhelming,
the helicopters,
the cheering,
the beginning of the race with all the sponsorship floats,
I have never seen that before,
and all the other cars and support teams and the replacement bikes
it was truly wonderful being there so close to the riders
.I live on the other side of the world in Australia,
so
Thank you
for the video of this special bicycle race
Love from us at Colombe ❤❤❤
Thank you
I’ve been watching the Tour de France on TV for 20 years. I’d love love love to see it in person. Thanks for filming. Some helicopters film and other ferry big shots around each day to watch the tour. Each team has to carry extra bikes for each rider fit to their specifications. Since this was a flat stage the bikes stay together in a peloton to keep out of the wind. Remember these men are riding every day for about 3 weeks. Each stage is different. It’s the greatest sporting event ever.
That was wonderful Jane! It was so nice to be there on the side of the road with you all. I watched Patrick and Stuart's video as well so I really felt a part of it! Thank you!
Agree many thanks Jane, as a family we watch La Tour every year, you and the boys really helped make it more relatable, spectator view of La Tour, we never see the caravan in action, so many many thanks! 👍🙏🫶😎🇳🇿
🚴🏼🚴 Jane, Your Vlog made me very very happy today❗️ What fun to watch! 🚴🏼🚴
Not many shady trees there. Good to see you all sharing happy companionship.Lovely to see the happy floats.Love the animals and fruits.
What a fun day. Everyone enjoyed themselves. 🙌🚴🚴🏿♀️🚴🏻♂️

7:20 - look at Patrick shakin’ his tail feathers 😂. Wonderful day - thanks for taking us along. Looks like everyone had a great time, despite the heat and wait ✌🏼
❤😂❤
That was fun. 😅😅😅😅😅
You look so pretty, Jane. That hat suits you so well. I love hats and wear them often. Thank you, again!!!
Oh thank you Amy, it was very hot and humid, so not my best look but necessary LOL
@@notquiteachateaudiy I think you looked extra lovely. It gave Tony another chance to show off his young wife.😉
Looks like you all had a wonderful day 😊
Has to be done. Exciting 😄
Thank you! Loved the Melon "car" & great fun, between waiting... (On my wish list to experience in person!).
My son did crew…we took hours setting up tents and food drinks for seeing one minute of the races
Great video loved it❤
👋🇨🇦 Kudos Jane, in your gorgeous 👒 The animated cars were fantastic ! I enjoyed the caravan, and loved your commentary 😂 Thank You, from Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Wonderful! Hope you got lots of freebies.
💜💙💚
BEST WISHES TO YOU
So elegant Jane! What an event!!! I had no idea. I've seen cyclists in Paris and a Tour in Quebec city, but nothing like this. WOW they do pass by very fast! Amazing floats too. Ahahahaha look at Patrick's hip action: only dance ❤ two hours? They were passing so fast. Ahahahaha the gendarm acro5the road must of been entertained by you lot 😁
Jane and Tony - Thank you for giving me a slice of France, while I am in the middle of the country of Kansas City, Missouri in the middle of the USA and Home of The Chiefs!! You both ROCK!! Love what you do - Keep on Doing it!
The policeman standing next to Tony was cute
He was for sure. And friendly. And his wife and 8 month old baby were also adorable. Hugs from Colombe.
What a wonderful day out! I thought that was a water bottle that flew at you guys 😮 im glad it was a hat and no one got knocked out ❤
How exciting! ❤
Brilliant Jane I thoroughly enjoyed.. absolute glorious day you got 🌞💛 thank you
Make a hat display with a collage of photos for your home
Talk about “drafting”! Scary how close they bike…a wedge into the wind
To me this is so familiar,a chair and a drink is al you need to see the caravan and the cyclists.
Next week starts the biggest event in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.The Four Days March.
Then I will sit and watch the people walking,the distance of 50 kilometer a day.
Brilliant I’ve never seen the caravans before the Tour de France ❤
It was great fun to see Alida, and the atmosphere was great, even though we were in a very rural place.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was such fun Jane!

Glad you & riders had good weather!
We were very lucky Linda, there were storms in the distance!
@@notquiteachateaudiy I noticed but the weather held & everyone had a good time!
I’ll assume this is not the first time Tony’s taken a nap in a ditch. Looks like a good time was had by all. I believe there’s an app you could have followed the cyclist on to see exactly where they were.
He likes a power nap now and again Machelle, not often in a ditch but it was the most comfortable place! Stuart was following the race on an app for us yes xx
The bike race parade looked really fun. The chateau is really coming along guys. All my best.
Thank you Rodney, it was fun and they threw lots of free stuff at us. Was a bit worried when they threw cans of beer and Orangina though, but they threw them in the ditch not at us!
@@notquiteachateaudiyJane please show us the goodies you got! 🍬🥫🍭🧢
@@rosebud-ame Hi Amy we took home very little as some of it was given to a little boy who arrived with his grandad after school but had missed the caravan. There were a lot of hats, keyrings, sample packets of detergent, haribo sweeties, mini dried sausages, bottle openers, tea cloths, wrist bands, mini crackers, cans of orangina and non alcoholic beer, shopping bags etc.etc.
Love the vlog Jane . I didn't take any pics or videos so am thrilled you captured my day with you all. Not sure if you got my best side in the thumbnail thoughLOL!!!! 😅 Keep up the great vlogging! It was wonderful to meet you and Tony. My dad always took catnaps like Tony and he was a whiz with power tools and projects as well. Cheers from Toronto
It was lovely to meet you too Susan, we had a fun day didn't we x
Drunk and Disorderly on the side of a French road 😳😳😳 😂👏👏👏
It was a long wait Steve LOL
@@notquiteachateaudiy ……….. Good company, bit of food and a few refreshments and you can’t go wrong 👏👏
@@notquiteachateaudiy ………… shame you didn’t have a Gramophone 🙂🙂
😂
Bonjour both
Bonsoir Steve
@@notquiteachateaudiy ………….. everything to me is Bonjour 😂😂😂😂
Jane is a lovely lady, but I wouldn't like to be married to her.
I thought it was really mean for them to throw a hat in your face...ouch
Great day isn’t it!!! First you get pelted with merch from sponsors at 60kph then the bikes 🚴 🚴 🚴😅
