Château de Colombe and Le Tour de France! - Journey to the Château, Ep. 218

In this Wednesday episode, Patrick and Stuart welcome friends and guests to the chateau for a party to celebrate the viewing of the Tour de France. Stage 10 of the 2024 Tour de France passes just 400 m from the front door of the Château de Colombe! They show highlights from the long caravan that precedes the peloton of cyclists, as well as the moment when the group of cyclists actually pass by. Patrick and Stuart also show the beginning of the renovation work in the chateau side kitchen with help from friend Tony @notquiteachateaudiy .

Hello my darling Stuart and Patrick, Well what can I say about this vlog.
“Wow Wow Wow” .
Stuart everyone agrees that your editing skills and camera work are amazing but this was just fantastic catching the excitement and essence of the riders. I really think you should enter the close up clip of the pack going by as it was brilliant . 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Might I also say Stuart I love your hat, even when I saw you wearing it way back in the beginning of the Journey vlogs I think it’s suits you very well. 😊
Darling Patrick it was so good to hear the happiness and excitement in your voice when you were commentating waiting for the tour to pass.
I must say you’re looking very tired though but a few hours off with friends is so good for you both.
Love to you both and big big hugs from me. 🥰🥰🇨🇮

That looked like so much fun. 😊 The cars at the beginning are funny with chickens, lions and other things on them. I don't remember seeing them before. Great drone shot of the chateau! The riders were really packed together. Thanks for sharing 😊

I re-wound several times yesterday trying to see you, but didn't spot you. I will again, now that I know what you had on.
