Today is the final stage of the 100th edition of the Tour de France. They've scheduled it specially so that the arrival in Paris will happen around dusk, which is almost ten o'clock tonight. The starting line is in front of the Château de Versailles, then the course winds its way around the palace's immense park before heading toward Paris. Another novelty this year is that the race will actually circle the Arc de Triomphe at the Place Charles-de-Gaulle.
Our friends from Illinois left the Alps yesterday and should now be in Paris. They have seats near the finish line on the Champs-Elysées, so we'll be looking to see if we can spot them on television later tonight.
Great shot of the stained glass.
ReplyDelete1oo years? WOW! (sings) the wheels on the bikes go round and round...
ReplyDeleteI can picture the paris places (ooooh, alliteration!) in my mind; paris doesn't change too much.
I have yet to catch the tour de France, even on the news. I see that it is 91F (33C) and clear at 3 pm your time. It is not really that hot.
