Tour de France on Monday

granjura, I'll certainly keep that in mind if we ever actually get to do our proposed trip round Europe.

One thing I love here, as that we experience both France and Switzerland almost on a daily basis- makes life more interesting.

ahaha I know a great B&B- sort of, mates' rates

We don't get a very good picture on British TV, so watched on Eurosport. They went to a "tech talk" i.e.split screen, small picture, just as your village came into view gj . Still, beautiful scenery and so green! And it's got DH interested in visiting Switzerland.

Watching the replay of ITV4 - they showed our local French Castle, Château de Joux, and then the Church of our twin French village- and then ... as Mamie says, an advert break... grrrr. The next Church shown was down in the Valley - so yep- they missed us - and me waving and shouting 'go on Christopher'- lol. Should have taped French TV or Swiss TV instead- but you got an idea of the area- and they even just mentionned out Green Fairy, 'absinthe'.

Watching it on ITV4 as well. Nice to see around Berne again. DH used to buy me a piece of jewellery from a little shop in Berne every Christmas - not expensive I hasten to add. Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich was the place to go for that .
Nice to see the Aare again as well. We lived very close to it for 10 years.

Sorry ITV4 that is.

Caught a quick glimpse of the roof of the church on French TV before they cut away, ITV3 on UK TV crossed the frontier and then went to an advert break!
So no, not really.
All looking very pretty though.

Never found the flag- where could they be???

all over now - back home for some home made elderflower cordial and ice. No idea what the helicopters filmed - did you see our little Church after the Swiss-French border?

They are now down the hill at our local town, Neuchâtel, and the 3 lakes region.

I'm here! Watching live on France 3; make sure you wave.

Is it live on ITV4?

Looking forward to it granjura.

Have you found the flags yet?

They are going to be hot- strong sunshine and not a puff of wind.

hihihi

à demain

Oh dear, getting too excited . They went through a village with a church just at the right time as well! OK, I'll try again tomorrow

It's tomorrow Badenkate - or did they show a preview of the route today?

I think I saw the church but they did it on an aerial shot. It's lovely round there. We spent a few days in Saint Claude some years ago and had a wonderful time.

I'll look out for you gj, I watch the "Tour" every year, and love it. ??

where the heck would I get a red carnation around here?

We had 1000s and 1000s of pink and fuchsia coloured wild ones all over the place for a few weeks. The wild flowers have beem amazing this year.

Well of course, I am British you know ;) and OH even more than me ;) hence looking for those flags- where the Dickens have they gone???

Brits doing really well! Cheer them on Granjura

OK. Wear a red carnation in your buttonhole

Our time, and we are 1 hour ahead! We have been looking frantically for our English, British, French and Swiss flags - just disappeared! We will be next to the little Church...
