Le Tour

This is what it looks like watching Le Tour de France on the Champs Elysee:


And if you're lucky you'll get to also see this (just like I did):


Actually, I saw that about 8 times as they cycled up and down the Champs Elysee. Really, it's quite an event. I'm glad I went to see it; not sure I'd bother doing it again. It's one of those things where the coverage on TV is 'more' than being there in person.
Unless you have VIP seats or manage to get on the front row of the crowd.
