This Sunday, September 20, the 107th edition of the Tour de France will arrive in Paris at the end of the day. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the usual arrival of runners on the Champs-Élysées greeted by a jubilant crowd will be less festive this year.
Only 5,000 people against tens of thousands in previous years will be allowed to attend the arrival of the Tour de France this Sunday on the Champs-Élysées.
But before taking a position, masked, along the security barriers, the public will first have to go through one of the filtering and counting points held by the police.
Control points well away from the public
These checkpoints will be located a good distance from the cyclists’ route in order to prevent the crowd from congregating upstream to try to see their favorites.
Covid-19 requires, no spectator will be allowed to go to the finish line, or to the final part of the circuit, usually the most popular.
Finally, the team village, Place de la Concorde, will also be closed to the public.
A device that promises an arrival in Paris much less festive than usual.
