Tuesday, August 8, 6:58 a.m. Summer dawn in the port of Honfleur (Calvados). Christophe Blanchet, the MoDem deputy emerges from his motorhome, flocked to his effigy, in sportswear. Since July 31, he has been criss-crossing his constituency by bicycle (electric, when the Normandy climbs are too steep) to exchange with the 115 mayors (out of 117) who have agreed to receive him. He sleeps in his vehicle, fitted out for the occasion. If the features are drawn after eight days of waking at dawn, the enthusiasm is intact. He begins the penultimate day of his “circo’à vélo”. Drop off point: Deauville.
