Today we celebrate Bastille Day with some alternative perspectives on France.

Viewers the world over are following the Tour de France cycling race as riders make their way up the mountain ranges down the winding passes of France. Lance Armstrong's team Astana is showing some competitive cracks after "le weekend," a punishing ride through the Pyrenees. But today, they are near the city of Limoges in the relatively flat Limousin region.

We’re using our imaginations and guide Dorian Yates, to touch down in near Limoges. Dorian is author of The Green Earth Guide to France, and she’s with us for the Bastille Day version of our Next Green Thing series.
