St. Honoré Boulangerie Celebrates Bastille Day, Tour de France and adds Dinner Menu.
PORTLAND, OR (PRWEB) July 2, 2004 -- Dominique Geulin, M.O.F, master baker and owner of St. Honoré Boulangerie has brought many culinary traditions with him from France. But this summer, Geulin will celebrate two of Frances cultural traditions: Bastille Day (July 14th) and the premier cycling race, the Tour de France (July 3-25th). "I want Oregonians to learn about French culture when they visit my boulangerie," says Geulin. "If you cant visit France this summer, we will bring the culture to you."
Tour de France Headquarters, July 3-25, 2004
For three weeks in July, St. Honoré will become a cyclist gathering spot with ongoing televised coverage of the races from July 3-July 25th. In celebration of Lance Armstrong, Nike is leading the efforts to raise $5 million for the Lance Armstrong Foundation through the sale of $1 yellow wristbands. St. Honoré will be one of the locations to purchase a wristband engraved with Lance Armstrongs mantra, Live Strong.
Bastille Day, July 14th, 7 a.m. – 10 p.m.
St. Honoré Boulangerie will celebrate Bastille Day, Frances national holiday. Under a canopy of French flags watch plein air artists painting with some of their works on display, portrait artists sketching children, and performances from mimes, jugglers and musicians throughout the day. Transport yourself to Montmartre for Bastille day and celebrate the French way!
