STORYLINE
Bienvenue La Belle France a snapshot of this wonderful country there is so much more to discover and enjoy.
Let's begin in the skies where the Montgolphier brothers show off their latest balloon, Louis Bleriot is practising for his flight across La Manche while 70 years later France is still leading the aviation world with the first supersonic flight of the Concord. All enjoying the beautiful sights of Monte Blanc the Drus and the Auguille du Midi. while down below Josephine is still frustrated by Napoleon who has now taken up golf "not today Josephine".
The TGV is pulled into the Guard du Nor by the Flying Scotsman after breaking down crossing the Pont du Guard.
On the golf course below Didier Dechamps is enjoying a round after two world cup successes and Jean-Pierre Reeve still can't get over France's latest rugby world cup failure.
Out at Versailles the mob have finally got their bread while watching Cardinal Richeleau beheading Marie Antionette, the three musketeers are too late to save the day while Joan of Arc is even further behind. Years later Marinne Lepenne contemplates wishing she could do the same today. Bemoaning that they have turned the Gardens into a putting green the French as ever carry on playing boule. After the war General de Gaulle is greeting Churchill in the entente not so cordialle.
In the city the peloton have just passed the Flamme Rouge entering the Champs Elysees up ahead Brenard ( the Badger ) Hinault is winning his fifth tour with time to enjoy the sights of Paris. Alain Prost is showing off his latest car after four F1 World titles.
Emanual Macron is discussing the cities problem with Blaise Pascal and Rene Descartes (flooding at the Pompidou Centre, Chimps climbing the Eiffel tour, slow trains on the Metro and the rats invading the local markets).
At the Louvre Vincent van Gough is flogging his latest work but only attracts the attention of the local hooker, Toulouse Letrec paints the scene with glee.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame along with Follies dancers are enjoying a stroll by the Sienne. In Maxims Coco Chanel is dining alone watching Edith Piaf's final show accompanied by Onion Johnny Halliday. Maître'd Fred Siriex is running the show with his usual calm efficiency, wishing he was out at Les Sables D'olnne watching his daughter diving for France having quit the British Olympic team. In the vineyard Rene Lacoste has organised a battle of the sexes match between Andy Murray and his coach French Open champion Amilee Muresmo umpired by the fiery supermome John Macenroe. Claude Monet is the only spectator but seems more interested by the water lilies in the pond.
On the coast Marcel Marceau is enjoying a round while his caddy is glad he doesn't talk too much. Up ahead Jean Van de Velde is practising his water shots after losing the Open at Carnoustie.
Out in the bay Bernard Motissier is starting another round the world voyage while avoiding swimmer Leon Marchand and the father of scuba diving Jacques Cousteau.
Oh and me walking the dog.
There are 33 Onion Johnnies, 12 Sports, 10 Modes of Transport, 12 items of food and drink and 20 animal to spot and translate into French).
That's my take on France hope you enjoy.
A'the Best
