    For obvious reasons it gets very crowded anywhere near the finish line, but there's a good spot near the river, as they come off the Place de la Concorde.

    If you are there at the Quai des Tuilieries near the big road bridge you see a kind of zig-zag view of the riders as they ride on to place do la Concorde, across it, and then turn off to go along the riverside road.

    thanks for your reply Le Commentateur! :D i was looking at that area as it was the finish. you have been at this before ..... is it an early start on the sunday to get the best viewing position? do you have to buy a ticket or anything?

    Thanks again
    Trevor
