Tour de France in Paris
 
I cannot figure out from looking at the following schedule what time the riders might arrive in Paris and how long will it take them to ride around Paris 8 times. Can anyone decipher it for me and have other info? Thanks, Ronda

According to the website between 2:30 (when the first of the caravan arrives) until about 5:22 (based on slowest times).

I don't know about how long to do the eight times as I never paid attention, but I've been there about 6 times during that event, probably, and they've always ended between 3:30-5:30 pm.

The last time we watched the finals from near Concorde, I'd say the cyclists came by us on each lap about 15 to 20 minutes apart. The ending times mentioned above seem about right.

Thanks for the info. Trying to plan our day and trying to get some sightseeing in before they arrive.
