So, one day while we're on the bus going back to the hotel after a Tour de France stage, there's a song played on our bus that seemed to be some sort of Tour song (as in, it mentioned "De Londres a Paris" and a number of the stage start/finish towns, also we could pick out words such as "peloton" but being that it was in French, couldn't catch all the lyrics). Then, on several subsequent stages I heard the same song being played from the caravan as it went by. So, when we got home, I was trying to Google to find out what this song might be, without any real luck.
When we went through some of our freebies from the caravan, I noticed the CD from Bouyges Telecom that I'd mostly ignored previously, figuring that it was some sort of promotional video or similar. Except, now I noticed that some of the words on the cover matched some lyrics from the "mystery song" - and I remembered that when I'd heard the song from the caravan it was in fact from the Bouyges vehicles. So, into the computer went the CD and sure enough, there was the song. Presumably our bus driver or tour guide had picked up a CD at the stage and put it in the CD player on board that day when we first heard it ...
Looking further on the Bouyges website, looks like it is part of some promotional campaign. Not sure of all the lyrics, but some are "I know that you collect" and "everyone everywhere" - so I wonder if it's actually a song about the Tour caravan. In any case, if you want to listen yourself, there are clips here.
