TOUR DE FRANCE


What a pleasant surprise to find that the last stage of the Tour was on Sunday whilst I was in Paris. The Tour de France is a century old cycle race held in 21 separate stages in 21 separate area. The last stage starts in a Chateau Chantilly S of Paris, enters Paris and makes several loops down the Champs Elysee to,the Louvre and eventually finishes along the Champs. John and I checked the route a few days in advance and reckoned the areas to watch the last couple of laps. We found a good description of watching from precious years, but due to security, many of the plans we made were changed as we made our way to the course. We made a lucky find and had 2 different viewing angles. It was quite exciting for a MS 150 veteran to be there. Chris Froome a Brit from Kenya won for the 3rd time on Team Sky.
