Tour de France

It's the perfect time to talk about the Tour de France.
Did you know that in 1903, Geo Lefevre, a journalist from "l'Auto Magazine" conceived a 2,828km cycle race around France? He would never have imagined it might grow into the world's greatest annual sporting event!
Things have changed since 1903 and the race is now about 3,600km.

EASTER

Did you know that In France, Easter goodies are brought, not by basket-toting bunnies, but by winged chuch bells?
On Maundy Thursday, the bells leave their steeples and head for Rome. On Easter Sunday, they fly back to France, dropping chocolate eggs and other treats in gardens and on balconies as they make their way home. 

Happy Easter everyone!

Very Clever!

We received a funny email last week from one of our clients. We wanted to share it with you:

"A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre.

After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings, and made it safely to his van.
However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas.
When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied , "Monsieur that is the reason I stole the paintings".





"I had no Monet




















To buy Degas

To make the Van Gogh."










See if you have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else

I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing Toulouse.
