Sunday Morning (the day in paris when EVERYTHING is closed) I decided to take a peaceful stroll along the beautiful Garden Tuileries until I got off metro and was bombarded by a sidewalk of people sitting and standing as the streets were blocked off and police were patrolling the area (NO LONGER A PEACEFUL STROLL) People cramped everywhere, no where to maneuver easily, I finally asked “What is going on?” I was informed that Le Tour de France was coming through our area and it is a MUST-SEE event if you are in Paris!
Le Tour de France is the well known and most prestigious of cyclying’s 3 Grand Tours. The annual bicycle race is held in France, covers more than 2,200 miles and last 3 weeks. The race is broken into day segments (stages) and the winner is determined by the individual’s overall time at the end of the race. As the course changes every year, Paris is always the ending location. Celebrities Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz were even in attendance for this grand event to do some off screen promo for themselves.
