We are going to be in Paris in July for the final day of the Tour de France. Any tips on viewing? Best spots? Logistics?
If you can manage a spot on the Arc de Triomphe, that would be ideal, although this is difficult. The Tour always ends with the same route, up and down le Champs Elysee and around la Place de la Concorde. Anywhere along that route should give you a decent view.
We were there for the finish in 2001 and my choice would be either rue de Rivoli or the top of the Champs Elysees. You're lucky, Lance will once again be in the Tour in 2009! Much more fun when he's in it :)
