” 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.

Joie de vivre comes to mind when I think of how the Parisians celebrate everything from soccer to military parades. I also love how the various European fans (like after World Cup games) march through the streets unabashedly singing.

The Tour is really a source of national pride with the French and yet every year the crowds come and cheer no matter who claims the yellow.
