Oh Yes. This is a history. Great/Small man and a Grand Duchy of Warsaw.... Polish people had a hope to recapture of Poland... etc.
I was in Paryż ;) at the beginning of May. It was to early for signs of Tour the France. But I know, why You're asking :) It begins in Rotterdam ;) on 3d of July, isn't it?!
Will we have a possibility to see Your photos of it, Photofascination? I hope so ;)
