Inspired: Tour de France

I love watching Tour de France every summer. Rob and I wake up early to see the end of the day’s race with our coffee.

My favorite things include Phil Liggett pronouncing “maillot jaune” “Ivan Basso” and “Thor Hushovd.” The scenes of the french countryside (will they pass by Design Mom‘s house?). The teary Belgians and Spaniards crossing the finish line after a climb day and kissing their gold chains.

And it inspires all kind of frenchiness at home during the race. I made sole meuniere for dinner last night, currently reading A Moveable Feast and wearing a striped breton shirt to work today.

Do you watch the Tour?
