Vive le Tour de France!

Today is the end of the Tour de France.  I've loved watching their trek through the French countryside. Today,  I wait with anticipation,  as they zoom around Paris, and I catch glimpses of places I know and love. 

Paris Rouge - L'autobus

Sometimes you just can't have enough Paris Rouge in one week!  Today a shot Peter has perfected on his blog header.  We were having a look at The Welcoming Hands at Tuilieries,  and he kindly pointed out this vantage point, capturing these three in one shot.  The red bus was the cherry on the sundae, so to speak.

Having watched the ending of le Tour de France ( thanks Genie for the heads up) as the bikers pedaled up and down the Champs Élysées yesterday, it made me homesick for this special view.

As an added bonus I include a special tune for you today!

Parked

Le Tour de France began yesterday in Passage du Gois.  Sadly this lovely old vélos won't be a contender.
