“The formula’s success, with a parade of originally decorated vehicles ‘advertising their wares’ by giving away gifts, was immediate. The first advertisers, like Vache qui rit (the Laughing Cow) won a place in the hearts of the public, who willingly joined in the fun. Eighty years later, the publicity caravan has become an integral part of the event that is the Tour de France. It goes hand in hand with the race that it precedes, with the multi-shaped and multi-coloured procession lasting more than 45 minutes. Young and old alike at the roadside marvel at the inventiveness of the floats and vehicles and clamour to grab the gifts… In total, a survey carried out amongst people who come to watch the Tour reveals that 47% of spectators come first and foremost to see the publicity caravan.” (Publicity caravan, Le Tour de France)

The Drinker

“The Drinker” by Banksy, 2004
Shaftesbury Avenue
London, March 2004

The Drinker is a statue by graffiti artist Banksy that was placed in a small square off Shaftesbury Avenue in central London in 2004. It is a subversive nod to The Thinker by Auguste Rodin. The Drinker was stolen by ‘art terrorist’ Andy Link (also known as AK47). The 2016 documentary film The Banksy Job is about the work's theft. Three years after Link stole it, the sculpture was taken from Link's garden while he was away.” (The Drinker, Wikipedia)
