We were watching the Tour in 1999 on rue de Rivoli and even took a photo of Jeanne then to commemorate Lance’s first win.

We were able to watch the Tour finish live in Paris from 1996-1999. I love the way the French line the Champs with giant tv screens so nothing is missed. So much fun!

This has been a good thread. Thanks again, Ready4Freddy
We just returned home from out of town so now will belatedly watch the rerun of the finish and I will look for my statue.
Great seeing you Leilani!

” I love the way the French line the Champs with giant tv screens so nothing is missed. So much fun!”

They do know how to handle this event in a fan friendly way.

Nothing like the support shown for all the riders at the end of a grueling event.

Fond memories all the way around.
