Get there early, but for me its a waste of time.
You stand around, 6 deep for hours and they pass by at about 50km per hour, I saw so little that my advice would be to find a nice outside Bistro where the race goes past, or nearby, try and get a seat early, you can have a nice leisurely meal and drinks where the waiter won't try to force the bill on you.
Hopefully they have a TV set up and when the race goes by, simply stand up, raise a glass and then sit down and see the finish/presentations on TV, IMHO
