I will be in Paris for the 26th of July, the final day for the Tour de France. Any suggestions for a good viewing spot as the riders come in?

The final stage of the Tour includes multiple circuits around Les Champs Elysee. This area is usually packed, but you may get a better view closer to the Place de la Concord. I'm not sure why, but it always seems to be less crowded here... maybe because you can't see the finish from this spot, but I don't know for sure. If you just want to watch the riders go by once, from the map, it looks like they're approaching the final circuit from the south bank of the Seine, to the east of Les Champs Elysee. It will still be crowded here, but less so than the final circuit.
