Don't go thinking the Tour de France started earlier this year, this cyclist is probably just an amateur that I caught on "film" yesterday in the Bois de Boulogne. The Bois de Boulogne is a 3.3 square mile park that borders the west side of Paris in which you can find several lakes, restaurants and even a racecourse. That is precisely around this racecourse (called l'hippodrome de Longchamp) that the cyclists train. FYI several buses allow you to go to the Bois de Boulogne, which is a nice location for a picnic for instance.
nice picture, even the sun is out!
ReplyDeleteThe Bois de Boulogne is a place I've always wanted to visit. So much history there.
ReplyDeleteI just saw a wild 1933 precode uncensored cut of a film called Babyface, with Barbara Stanwyck. And (Bonus!) it has a couple great shots of 1933 Paris! An aerial shot over the rooves of Paris and lots of cool cars and clothes.
Can't wait for the TdF! There's a big race soon here in California that some of the top riders come to (the Amgen). A nice warm-up!
Ooh, a picnic! What a lovely idea, I think we will tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent post for sharing. I will recommend it to all of my friends.
ReplyDeleteI metro/bus/walked to the BdB when I was last in Paris. Astoundingly beautiful and extremely large place.
ReplyDeleteLongchamp leaves me awash with Hemingway and Fitzgerald ...
Looks like a beautiful sunny day! Great capture!
