The “Tour de France” is a big celebration for the cities it crosses every year.
From Saturday 4 to Sunday 26 July 2009, the 96th Tour de France has been held in 21 steps to a distance of approximately 3 500 km.

After almost one month of harsh and fierce competition on the roads of France, the traditional end of the Tour de France on the Champs Elysees in Paris is the highlight of the competition since 1975.

For the first time in the history of Tour de France, a race in the mountain will precede the final arrival! The race will be more interesting.

The race will get in Paris from the East, going along the Quai François Mittérrand to the Quai des Grands Augustins & Quai de Conti, and then across the Seine to Concorde Suare, before ascending the Champs Elysees for 8 laps before the end.

This step is an apotheosis due to the vying sprinters who leads to a spectacular arrival on the Avenue.

You will no doubt feel the excitement filled the streets of the Champs Elysees, which is celebrating this day. The pride of France in terms of a sports event, the Tour de France is a veritable institution! It is the top cycling event to win in order to become a cycling legend.

Tips:

• To cross the street, it is better going under the avenue by the subway.
-George V: 103 or 116 Champs Elysees

• If you lose your kids, you can take Louis Vuitton as the appointment place. It can be seen along the whole Avenue.
• To see the itinireray of the arrival of the Tour de France 2008, go here ( http://www.passionveloblog.com/archive-07-2008.html ). The ride in the city of Paris is the same.
• If you want to see the racers without the crowd, the ride will go through the city before the big arrival.
• Do not forget to drink with the heat, many cafes and restaurants on the avenue will have exteriors bars where you could have cheaper drinks than inside.
• Good to know: Roughly 60-90 minutes before the riders come through you’ll see what’s known as the “caravan” come through the race route. It’s a weird parade of sponsor vehicles, most of them have goodies to throw to spectators of the Tour de France.
• If you want to buy « souvenirs and T shirts » we recommand you the ' Library Biret' which offers better prices than the truck parked on the sidewalks of the avenue.

*Watch out! Sometimes, little girls are pickpocket. They are usually in group of 3 or 4, wearing hairs tied. They hold a map or a fabric on their arm, and they use it to steal tourist without being noticed.*
