Every October, there is a running event (les Foulées Amboisennes) with competitions for kids (1 KM and 2 KM in length) and adults (10 KM and 17 KM). Each competition starts and finishes in the main town square (Place Debré) just below the château. So I positioned myself just in advance of the finish line and here is my favorite snap. I have to believe this couple did not hold hands throughout the entire race. But I think this would make a good publicity ad; even their T-shirts match the Amboise town colors . And to me, it looks like even the tower in the background seems pleased (or maybe shocked, you decide).
Et tu n'as pas participé?...Je suis étonnée.
ReplyDeleteNous avons la même course à Cherbourg tous les ans. La première fois que notre fille ainée a participé, les suivants sont passés par-dessus elle, tellement il y avait de monde derrière. Le résultat a été deux dents de devant cassées!
J'espère que ça ne la décourage pas de courir dans une autre course.
DeleteVery good! I thought you were going to tell us that you participated :)
ReplyDeleteI found out about this race too late to sign up because in France, unlike the US, one has to have certification from a physician. But next year, I hope to have a photo of me crossing the finish line.
ReplyDeleteGo Stuart Go~!!
