• Tour de France Tribune Elysee – grandstand seats in the official tribune ‘Elysees’ located just after the finishing line on the right-hand side of the Champs Elysees. With the circuit of the 106th Tour de France going farther up the Champs Elysees towards the Arc de Triomphe, this will be a pretty good location to watch the proceedings.

Located across from the Tribune Présidentiele, the Espace Triomphe is as close as it gets when it comes to Le Final and awards ceremony.
• Tour de France Le Berkeley Programme – enjoy a cocktail lunch party in a typical Parisian setting. This is one of Sports Tours International’s most popular and well-received hospitality options with the quality and quantity of the very good food.
