For Elisa Francesca Roselli ( Stage 20 - TdF)

Elisa,

Very happily, I will be in France beginning July 17th. I will try to
catch a Tour stage or two, but would very much like to catch the end of
Stage 20 on the Champs-Élysées.

I'm wondering whether you (or anybody else) can advise me as to a good
location from which to see the final stage. Ideally, I'm looking for
somebody who has an apartment or office, or similar, that might be open
to having one more guest ;-)

Either way, I'd be grateful for any advice....

Please feel free to reply via e-mail ... it works as is.

Merci bien,

Neil

I've only ever seen the TdF go by in Tours, down avenue Grammont and rue
Nationale. I've no idea about Paris, alas.

There is a magazine called FUSAC which is all advertisements aimed at
the English-speaking community in Paris. They advertise appartments and
things like that. I'll have a look, and I'll ask around for you. You
want a balcony overlooking the Champs Elysee: this should exist, but in
most situations of public access, I'd expect it would be a commercial
commodity.

In Paris, the best place for *atmosphere* is on the Champs Elysee... but you
won't actually see very much of the peleton - it travels entirely too speedy
so it is literally a blur. Great atmosphere though :-) And people start to
take places along the route from very early morning and the peleton doesn't
come through until late afternoon...

Cheers, helen s
