    You should be able to watch two passages. I would suggest the Tranche d'Arenberg and the "Pave' de Luchin et del Carrefour de l'Arbre", the first is legendary, the second is where often the race is decided, a few miles from the finish.
    Alternatively a good pave' is "mons en Pevele", in my opinion the most difficult (after Arenberg). Last year Cancellara attacked just before that one.
    Otherwise any pave' in the last 20-30 Km is likely to be exciting.
    If you book early you can find accomodation in Lille/Roubaix, otherwise we enjoyed our stay at St. Quentin, a lovely town indeed
