Managed to book a long weekend away in Paris which co-incides with the last few days of Le Tour. Basically, we're Eurostar-ing out on the Thursday night and then back again on the Monday evening so will be there for the last stage.

Now I know there's eight laps of the Champs Ellyses on the day, but was wondering if anybody on here has made the trip out in the past and can recommend a course of action for the day - niche spots to watch it, sneaky places to try and get into etc.? Thanks in advance.
