So I'm in north-west France, as it happens, when the Tour romps around the area from 7th to 13th July. I wouldn't mind viewing a bit of at least one of the stages, but I wonder about the logistics. Has anyone watched a stage or two live? Any tips, info or links regarding watching from the roadside? Is it likely to be possible to drive to the vicinity of the route and wander down to the route roadside? Ultimately I guess the question is whether its worth the effort- are we gonna be hanging around for a few hours to see a 10 second 60kmh streak of colour?
The details for me.... I'll have the wife and two sports enthusiast kids with me. The boys are 7 and 9 and capable of sitting thru 90 minutes of a football match but I'm not sure how suitable it'd be for them. I'll be staying quite near La Roche Sur Yon, so stages 1, 2, 3 looks the best for me. Are they likely to be swamped though?
cheers,
Sean
