Tour de France ping!
Please FReepmail nutmeg if you want on or off the Tour de France 2006 list. 
Course: Unlike most recent final stages that looped through the countryside south or east of Paris before entering the city, the entire course is on suburban and city streets in the southern and western parts of the metro area. Most significant is the very steep Cat. 4 climb of Mont Valérien after 72km, which is followed by a fast sweep down to the Seine River at Clichy. The next 20km are along the right bank of the Seine before riders reach the traditional Champs-Élysées circuit after 100km. Eight laps of the 6.5km circuit complete the 2006 Tour, 400 meters after the final right turn from the Place de la Concorde.

Interesting map, does the course pass through Panne d'Essence, Creve, Coup Fourré, As du Volan, Roulez, Roue de Secours or Milles Bornes?
