STAGE / ETAPE 17/3

 




Département  77  Seine et Marne 

The town name is :   Chelles                   sounding like   shell

Et nous voilà donc avec une coquille    "je n'en connais que le moitié"


Indice spécial hexagone puisque la coquille est l'erreur d'impression en typographie avec "le" moitié au lieu de la.

The shell is also used here to name an error in typography as using "le" article for "la" as "coquille" is a feminine word.


Rappel des indices

Some explanations about the clues


Our guides were the Beatles...   I read that 1977 (77 number department) was the year their live album "the Beatles at the Hollywood bowl" was released  (I hope the date is right) and the French song was supposed to lead to "Michelle".

On the second post, "ma belle, sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble" was giving you the song name. The tricky part is that in French "mi" means half or mid. So as they only knew half of the song could means that "chelle" was the answer! I know that it can be hard to understand how I can put my ideas together sometimes!

   

Cette fois, ce sont les Beatles et leur titre "Michelle" qu'ils répétaient qui étaient sensés vous faire deviner notre destination. 77 département Seine et Marne pour 1977 l'année de la parution de leur premier album live. Moitié de Michelle vous donne mi - chelle ! 




If you read my blog, you known that I like the work of the artist
Pierre-Emmanuel Godet  aka   Drawinside












Il y a de nombreuses grilles autour du monde des Beatles mais celles créées par Blackbird design sont incroyables.

I kept the last for the send, an amazing pattern from Blackbird designs.







Now it's time to go back to Chelles, city of "Ile de France" aera

Chelles, ville d'Ile de France


Chelles is known for a museum :
 










Bus kite in Dieppe festival.
Dans le ciel de Dieppe, ce cerf volant bus !



I have already posted about shell in the last 6th stage Tour de France as seashells so I'm choosing other shells today.






coquilles  de....    pistaches









Les petites souris de la maison, version printemps et Noël
The little mice of our home, spring and Christmas

Le mot coquille va peut-être évoquer chez certaines d'entre vous la coquille St Jacques et le chemin de Compostelle.

For some of you, the word "shell" may evoke images of the scallop shell and the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.





















Our travel is ending today. You have been very smart and I have enjoyed to read your guesses for the town names.

Thank you so much for participating and spending some times with me during this sixth edition.

Let's take a look to our "Tour de France 6".

See you next time on the roads of France...




Nous voici arrivés à la fin de cette sixième édition, merci de votre participation. Je prends beaucoup de plaisir à organiser ce voyage mais encore plus à lire vos commentaires et à vous voir démêler mes petites énigmes.

Grace à cette carte, jetons une dernière fois un coup d'oeil sur le chemin parcouru ensemble.

A une prochaine fois sur les routes de France...

  1. It's a shame that I couldn't solve the final problem of the 6th Tour de France hosted by Jocondine.😰
    I really like the Blackbird design. I also love the small house shell creations. The Chelles emblem is perfect for stitching. Thank you for introducing us to so many of your works.
    Thank you very much for hosting the 6th Tour de France. I think preparation is a lot of work.
    Whether I was able to get there or not, I was thinking about it with all my might.And it was so much fun to think about it every time.
    I would also like to thank my friends who traveled with me.
    Is the road next? For me, the roads of France are an unknown world. Looking forward to it.🙌

  3. This tour was, as always, great fun although I was stumped and lost a couple of times. On the last trip I just couldn´t find the elusive Michelle and was looking for her from the start.... of course, only you could plan Chelles. We appreciate the time you must have spent in planning the Tour. Thank you for the fun.

  4. Oh, you were to clever for me on the last part of this journey and I almost got lost! I love the little mice in the nutshells...I made some similar ornaments when I was a child. My grandma still has hers and we'll put it on her tree in a couple days!
