Tour de France 2009

i went there for a day when i was MTB'ing near bourg st maurice.
it was very hot compared to higher up the mountains, it was rammed full of tourists, i ate a nice steak but there was no aircon in the restaurant, there is a good choice of ice cream, it was rammed full of tourists, the lake was nice but there wasn't much room between the shore and the road, it was rammed full of tourists. it's not a big place and there are some nice twisty streets rammed full of tourists.

not somewhere i could go for a week as it would bore me shitless but to watch the tour and eat ice cream? why not.

Great place to watch the tour, especially at this time of year - I used to spend a fair bit of time there when i lived in the Alps, some top riding round there

good'o lets see if I can book the train - fancy a day out ...:)

Has anynoe been to Annecy before? I am thinking of catchin the train down there for the TT stage next week?

Went there last summer for the day whilst holidaying with friends in Samoens.

Quite touristy but a nice little town. Rented a 'speedboat' to blast around the lake which was fun.

anyone watching it anywhere in the smoke this afternoon?

No one here has a frickin tv.

Le barrie has beer and le tour. Sorted.

I have, it's absolutely beautiful

Spectator hit by moto and killed. 2 others injured.

Saw that, such a shame.. apparently a policeman came off his bike and it slid into the spectators. There are a couple more injured I think but they're going to be okay thankfully.

Cn says woman crossed road and was hit then bike slid into other two. Peds are dumb. I watched one idiot run beween 2 motos.

Katusha....

Come on roche!!!!!

Cavendish gets NO green jersey sprint points today!

ITV4 guys don't agree with it, see what happens tomorrow after the appeal.

It was fricken hot there last year, very nice, rammed with tourists. You could head for the bottom of the lake for quietness, there was a bus or even better, cheap bike rental from the train station I think (oddly, if you arrived by train) Also a converted train line bike path for most or all of the way on the west side
