googled a question on when it wraps up and found this -

The riders leave Longjumeau at 12.35 and are expected on the Champs at 14.12 finishing the race at 17.02 - I think....
or is it 17.16?

Christina on May 30,

They do have an English section on the Tour de France website...From what I saw, they aren't scheduled to leave Longjumeau until about 2:30 pm, the advertising caravan leaves at 12:15. That's why it says "caravane" over the time of 12:35. ..The caravane doesn't go up and down the Ch-Elysees many times, which is why those times stop at 2:15... They don't race on the Champs for 3 hours, only about one hour. The cyclists aren't expected on the Champs until around 4 pm.
So I'm guessing it'll be about 5 when the race ends, and then there's the presentations.

I should check (or does anyone know) where the station is in relation to the Arc?

I guess I better take a later train than the 5:30...
