vintage postcards
The 3,500 kilometer Tour de France will be passing through Saint Fargeau this year! My little town is buzzing with activity. The main drag of road has just been repaved! The shiny black ribbon of asphalt doesn't really match the rest of the town but.... I zipped my bike down it this morning. It was thrilling! vintage postcards

I must say your town and you are very lucky. It's an honor to have Tour de France pass from the town you live :)

The Tour de Georgia (no, really) passed through my town last year. It tied up traffic for three hours.
No PFF this week? I missed last week and was all ready... :(
I already watched the Tour de France over here, on the road between Le Mans and Tours. Two years ago, it was near here and my son who is Gendarme Reservist worked for the security.
How exciting! Both to host the Tour de France and to ride the road on you bicycle!
Good Morning,
You chose a wonderfully dark card for this friday, Marie. I love the humor of it. Congratulations with hosting the Tour de France. Do you ride a bicycle yourself?
The Tour went through a small town I was in some years ago. The cleaning up operation was incredible. I don't suppose the riders ever notice, but probably there is always the chance of the town being caught on television!
I have to apologise for not having filled in Mr Linky before. Something I was running has been blocking it, and I couldn't see it was there! :)
And I hope the poor little girl was all right!
Congratulations to Saint Fargeau! I will try to watch pieces of the T de F on Eurosport, and I expect to see you along the road in Saint Fargeau. Don't end up like this lass....
A Lovely and interesting post, Marie! I've just put up mine, for PFF, and hope you'll be able to stop by... Children in Chick Costumes! LOL
Hope all is well with you...

Happy PFF, although the little girl on this postcard looks like she could use some cheering up (and a nicer brother!). As usual, my postcard appears on Wednesday; this week is The Language of Flowers with a note written in Finnish.
Your bike ride sounds so charming, Marie!
Hey, It's one of my favorite sport (with football of course).
My first name come to "Eddy Merkx" because my father was a great fan of "tour de France".
Happy PFF
I wish I could witness Tour de France and above all I wait for the day to see the beautiful country France.
Keep visiting

Happy PFF!
ive always wanted to have an older brother...but certainly not someone like this one :)
Marie- I loved the card. Have a kick ass weekend!!!
Je souhaite que je pourrais venir et vélo avec vous aujourd'hui !
How fun to watch the participants of the Tour de France race past you in your own hometown!
Oh, the postcard was CUTE! I know you are so excited and proud to have the Tour de France come through your little town. How EXCITING!
The tour sounds exciting. Is that boy really running over the little girl?
Why the old Mr. Linky? I thought I was late, but then I saw I was already on the list?
This postcard cracks me up. I love the look on the little girl's face. That sounds so exciting having the Tour de France come through your town. We always love following the race here, and seeing so many beautiful parts of France. Have a great weekend!
That maybe the funniest postcard I have seen in a long time .. okay I am now wanting to play ... so next Friday I will join you .. I am sure there's something I can post to work with this clever theme!
OOps I did a double post. I did my post on last weeks also. I think not sure. Sorry about that. I hope you have a great weekend. Off to see the Easter Bunny.
Now I like this postcard! It's two wheels just sans the motor. [giggle] Happy PFF pal!!
Sneaky, starting PFF after I go to bed! But thanks for listing me; now that I've been on the list for 10 hours, I have posted my entry. :)
That happens a lot here in NYC !
We had Lance Armstrong and other racers come through Mariposa and it was quite thrilling when they entered the town in high speeds and quickly left. Really busy so took yesterdays blog entry and added PFF which you already stopped by.

Great postcard. Enjoy the Tour de France. Lucky you!
Try to find something funny to do in front of the camera when the Tour will pass at Saint Fargeau. Maybe running at the side of one of the racer.
That way we'll recognize you !
Have a nice week-end Marie.
I think this is my fave postcard to date!! [found you through SITS]
lucky you! take pictures!
that boy seems to be running over the girl with his bike!
The biker must be a Parisian.
I enjoyed another round of PFF visits today! Thank you for hosting the very enjoyabe PFF's!!!
Please let us know the exact day it passes through your town so I can see if I can get a look.

LOL. Thanks for the cute card. Enjoy the race. Sorry I am late today, just so busy. etc.
The Tour (de) California passes though Santa Rosa every year....
That postcard is so sinister!
Fat fingered typing. Here is the link I intended to post.
