Favorite Thing: Fata Morgana is a television show on the Flemish television (VRT).
During the summer period, each week a village or city is challenged by a Well-known Flemish person to fulfil 5 missions.
So the last week of June the Fata Morgana team landed in Roeselare.
The 5 missions were all about the Tour de France theme:
- wax the legs of 500 men
- Dress up more then 5000 people with a polka dots jersey (best climber jersey)
- 10 cyclists must return from the top of the Mont Ventoux in France and must arrive in Roeselare during the show
- Decorate a track of 1000 m (1 km) in red, white and blue
- build a scale model (1:4) of the Arc de Triomph (Paris)
4 out of the 5 missions were completed, only the Arc de Triomph was not completely finished.
Like this Roeselare got the title of a 4-Star city.
But now the week after the show they still completed the Arc de Triomph, and it really looks nice. It stays at the Botermarkt till after the festivities of July 11th.
Fondest Memory: Great atmosphere at the Grote Markt
