France 2015 - Day 8 - The Big Race

Well this was what we were supposed to be here for.

After a 30 min walk, in the rain, we reached our spot for the final stage, not to bad just opposite the finish line and thankfully under cover.





Before the race there is a parade of the sponsors which goes around and around.



Interesting to see a familiar brand here.



Then just as the racers hit the Champs-Élysées the Patrouille Acrobatique de France  (French Airforce Aerobatic team) do a fly over.



And then the riders arrive for the last part of the final stage.
