Day 2578 (Saturday) 29th June 2024
This is Cagnes-sur-Mer
The tour de France started today and this is the route it will take into Nice on its final stage…
Description
The 2024 Tour de France will be the 111th edition of the Tour de France. It started in Florence, Italy, on 29th June, and will finish in Nice, France, on 21st July. The race will not finish in Paris for the first time since its inception, owing to preparations for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Dates: Sat, Jun 29, 2024 – Sun, Jul 21, 2024
Location: France, Italy, Monaco
It ends in Place Massena in Nice so I assume we’ll go on July 21st.
This yacht was in the bay this morning and is called Bravo Eugenia – I can’t imagine why the fore deck is so long

The Bordeaux wine festival has also started…
Everything you need to know about the Bordeaux wine festival

Bordeaux is a name synonymous with wine - and the city holds a four-day festival every summer celebrating all things grape-related.
You’ll find the four-day celebration of all things viticultural and oenological (yes, that is a word) in Bordeaux this weekend.
The festival runs from June 27th to June 30th and takes place on the left bank of the River Garonne, between Pont de Pierre and Hangar 14, in the shadow of the masts of a number of tall ships – including the Belem, which recently transported the Olympic Flame across the Mediterranean, from Greece to Marseille.
Along the quays of the Garonne, winegrowers and merchants welcome visitors to various pavilions for tasting stops taking in the gamut of white, red, rosé, claret and crémant… from the wines of Médoc, via Bordeaux whites, the various Côtes, reds (of course), Saint-Emilion, Pomerol and more.
You can even attend a class of the Bordeaux Wine School.
To help wash down all that wine, a number of food producers and artisan food trucks are also on site.
Go on Friday or Saturday evening and you could catch an epic drone show over the river, they do it every year (with a wine theme of course) and it's pretty spectacular.
The good news is that the festival is free to enter – though if you want to sample a wine or two, or more, you’ll need a tasting pass.
That costs 23€, and should be bought on site or online – but it comes with a free glass, which you may find useful for all that tasting.
To finish on a few more terrible French jokes…
14 – Joke In French 🚰
Le maître s’adresse à ses élèves :
– Je vais vous rendre vos devoirs de mathématiques. Il s’agissait d’un problème de robinet qui fuit. Toto, tu n’as rien répondu mais tu as écrit un numéro de téléphone. Pourquoi ?
– C’est celui de mon père, m’sieur, il est plombier…
The teacher to his students:
– I’m going to give you back your maths homework. It was a problem about a leaking tap. Toto, you have not responded [to the question] at all, but have written a phone number. Why?
– That’s my dad’s number, sir, he’s a plumber…
15 – Joke In French 🐮
A l’école, l’institutrice s’adresse à Toto...

– À quoi sert la poule ?
– À nous donner des oeufs, mademoiselle l’institutrice.
– À quoi sert la vache ?

At school, the teacher says to Toto:
