For those of you who are new to the blog, let me introduce you to Monsieur Vélo.
His first appearance 'Just say it's Monsieur Vélo' was the result of a chance meeting whilst out on a bike ride, at the top of Semnoz, near Annecy. On this occasion, he was treated to French warmth and hospitality.
In today's France Today article, Monsieur Vélo is once again on his bike, and once again, the kind recipient of French generosity.
For my family and I, living in France, this French welcome has also overwhelmingly been our experience and for that we say 'thanks'.
Welcome to 'But you are in France, Madame' and bonne lecture!
Wonderful article! I just told my husband that he is never allowed to ride the Col du Galibier (unless someone is following along keeping an eye on him)! Sounds very challenging but amazing.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Unfortunately, you do have to be careful. As my friend found out, even in the middle of summer, conditions can change really quickly.
DeleteGreat story! I felt like I was the one riding down the mountain through sheets of rain. Kudos to Monsieur Vélo!
ReplyDeleteHi Ellen, Yes, kudos indeed. He is a good friend who also happens to be a doctor and doing serious research into pain - I may ask him to contribute some of his thoughts and findings in a future article. Looking forward to more photos of your 'little house in Normandy'!
