Tour de France 2009 took me to a small country bordered by Spain and France in the south west of Europe.  Located at an elevation of 1023 meters Andorra with a population of 85,000 people (approx) is a beautifully scenic country having a unique charm of its own.

Andorra is known for its thriving tourism industry with a fair number of visitors coming in every year. Though the place was bustling with activity and people due to cycling event (TdF) that I was following, I could still manage to enjoy the calm the country offers through walks into the mountains and even picnicking with my companions. There are electrical trolleys one can take if walking is not a cup of tea!

Petanque – a French pastime !!

As we made our way from Monaco to Issoudun, we saw what is a familiar sight to us now, a group of people standing around a small patch of hard soil, each of them with small steel balls, throwing them around from a stationary spot – all just like how we played marbles when we were young. The difference here was that there were very few young people playing this game and most of the players are often in the 50’s & 60’s!!
