L'Orangera, l'archive du jour. Effectivement, aujourd'hui, l'étape du tour est un contre-la-montre organisé à Nice, ville connue notamment pour ses spécialités culinaires, n'est-ce pas Jean-Pierre Coff ? Mais oui les enfants, en ce moment, c'est la saison, puisqu'on est à Nice, de la salade niçoise. Alors allez-y, enfin, merde vous attendez quoi ? C'est la saison, alors allez-y ! Eh ben on y va Jean-Pierre, on y va, vous pourriez nous rappeler la recette peut-être ? For a real salad niçoise traditionnelle, you open the fridge and you'll be in a large salad. Oh, but all of what we find? Yes, absolutely all of it is the principle. So you can't get rid of the fridge without nothing gaspiller. For example, you have the rest of the coulis, the tétines of genis or the mantons of chan. On a plein. I know, that's why I'm talking about it. You cut them in a little cubes regularly. You do the same for the fish of fish or the fish of the fish, but you will cut them in fine laniere If you have a glaire of the limaces of mer in gel you incorporate it to the vinaigrette Once you have a good idea of the fridge you add one or two beautiful leaves a dozen of dures olive leaves and you remove it Okay, and for the food, what do you do, Jean-Pierre? For the food, it's the same principle, except you will all go to a nice rice for a nice sangria niçoise, in which you will put one or two glass pans. Don't tell me that it's complicated, the cuisine nice to the kids. All right, it's going to be a dopey, the players. Bonjour, Michel Chevalier. Bonjour, mademoiselle Jeanne. How does it work? I mean, how does it work? Very well, thank you. You know, Michel, we just have to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the tunnel sous la Manche. I imagine that this anniversary we don't leave a difference. In fact, a tunnel sous la Manche remains a prodigy adventure technique and industry I'm in the way to you reveal the function of the tunnel. The tunnel sous la manche, how it works! It's not complicated. Look at the maquette that I have to you. Oh, it's a drôle of a maquette. It for understanding the function of the tunnel Observe this form lot of fuselage arrondie at the end which figures the motorist of the navet You are sure that it's a motorist? In all case, it looks a lot. Look, I'm placing my big navet in the axis of this orifice in 2001, which figures, according to her, the entrance of the tunnel. Now that's in the end. I'm going to go, I'm going to go, I'm going to go, I'm going to go, I'm going to go, I continue. This movement is going to the tunnel. The risk is the heat. But in this case, the tunnel is arrosed with carbon dioxide. Maintenance in surprise. And suddenly, violemment projeté from the head of the navette. I will show you this in effect the same demonstration. By the way, the British side of the British. It's not the way, Michel. It's going to go. Anyway, I'm going to realize that it's not possible. Because the English English have been. Tiens, bonjour Laurent Ruquier !
