On Saturday, the Tour de France went from Figeac down to Toulouse. Despite a somewhat rainy day, we packed a picnic and staked out a nice spot. We were told to get set up before the Junk Train arrived and soon realized what that meant as colorful vehicles promoting one company or another drove by, hurling free keychains, hats, and other knick-knacks to the bystanders.
We watched the circling helicopters above, indicating the bicyclists' arrival. Then they turned the corner. They went by very quickly, all in one pack.
Within 30 seconds our viewing of the Tour de France was over as they sped past us, but it was quite a half a minute. In that short time, Chris was able to get some great pictures
