Caught the 7:45 am train from Blois, Fr to Paris. Arrive in Paris and at our hotel in the Latin Quarter at 10:30 am. After lunch it is time to find a place to watch the Tour De France. We cross over to the right bank and walk the Rue D'Rivoli. I buy the required Tour De France t-shirt for $15 Euro and find a good spot across from the Westin Hotel along the wall of the Garden of Tulleries at 12:30 pm. Excellent place to sit on the wall and view the race.

We wait another 3.5 hours before we see a parade of advertisers. People going crazy taking pictures of the Team cars for Radio Shack - Lance Armstrong.

At last we finally see the racers. They speed by so far it is hard to team to see the yellow jersey leader and Tour De France 2010 winner Alberto Contado. If you miss something.... they are back again and again as they circle the city.
