Best off the beaten path spots to watch Tour de France on final day?

We are lucky enough to be in Paris on the final day of the tour . Wondering if anyone is willing to share any good spots to hang out and watch the cyclists other than the obvious (and sure to be mobbed ) champs élysées , ?

The advantage of somewhere on the Champs is that then you get to see the riders go by 16 times. Everywhere else you see them (if you haven't blinked or turned to notify your companion 'here they are') once.

I watched it from the Rue de Rivoli. It was very crowded. Where ever you watch it, don't be looking into the sun on a sunny day.
