But Le Tour really was something special when the world and his wife were all friends in the nicest possible way....<br />Cheers!oldrunningfox.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12113281696954817545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117707725943210131.post-30873797566745692432014-07-11T09:17:14.255+01:002014-07-11T09:17:14.255+01:00We get massive crowds here for street parties - fo...We get massive crowds here for street parties - for royal weddings and anniversaries - but nothing to match the Tour de France when crowds were boosted with visitors from all over the world.
