Today
we’re putting down the tools and stepping away from the farmhouse restoration for something a bit faster! We’re heading over to the stunning Château de Nieul in Central France to watch Alfie compete in a high-speed street circuit bicycle race.
Living in France isn’t just about the DIY and the renovations; it’s about these incredible community moments and supporting the family. Join us for the atmosphere, the speed, and a look at the beautiful village of Nieul under the race lights.

This was a real treat ,I love watching bike races and also seeing glimpse of a beautiful French village.Well done Alfie.👏😊❤️
Looks lovely there. Glad you got some down time. Well done Alfie 🚲 👍
I had cousins and friends who were bike riders so enjoyed Alfie's race. Thanks for the tour of the village. Love the architecture, which is so different from what we have in Tasmania, Aus, 🇦🇺
Thanks, Chris, to show us also this bicycle race for Alfie. It is so nice to see also other parts of your life, next to plastering and other reconstruction works!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing the excitement that happens at a cycling race. Brings back memories for us. ❤
Proud dad! ❤
Are you limping
I think you shared an exciting time! Thank you!
Really glad that Alfie has recovered his health, his get up and go! That is always exciting!
What are the rules for how they are put in the group?
What a beautiful view of the chateau and the lake. It is exquisite.
Congrats Alfie. Great performance and having your Dad there to support you must have been nice. 😊
Kudos to Alfie!
Happy to see you take a day off…
CHRIS … on your map app put bars near me and will show a list…
Well done Alfie
I love an unplanned day out!! Something good always happens !!! ❤
Good luck Alfie! I remember back in the day Wiggins & co rode past my actual front door in the Tour de France! All the prep on the road surface by the outriders was incredible. However much better scenery and weather in France!!
What an exciting glimpse into life on your side of the world. Congrats to Alfie. What a wonderful Day to Race!
It's so valuable to be interested in the life of your children. It's making memories together. You have a wonderful sportive son. And you make this day extra special for yourself by exploring the villlage and discover a beautiful chateau. A win-win situation
Gaz gaz mon Alfie, t'assure💪🏻✌🏻
Great video, Chris. Your videos have an uplifting spirit to them. Great going on trips with youas well. Way to go Alfie.🙌
What a beautiful village , good luck to Allie 😊
Well done Alfie 👏
G’day from Australia..well done Alfie👏👏👏👏 beautiful village Chris..thankyou for sharing 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Nice to see Alfie again. It certainly is a pretty village, looks like Spring has arrived in France. Unlike here in Quebec, Canada where we are having an ice storm today and then snow tomorrow🙁.
It doesn’t matter how old they are, kids always remember when their parents showed up! Well done Dad and well done Alfie x
How exciting, Amazing Dad, lucky, what a beautiful place, always make time for excursions ❤️❤️❤️
That was fun..enjoyed this very much!🇨🇦
Thanks for the little taste of road racing. Love watching TdF each year.
Thank's for a lovely video! 🤗
Wow. Great job Alfie!
