I was wondering if anyone has some insight into viewing the Tour de France live.

I am going to France in July and plan on watching the Alpe d'Huez uphill TT stage and the final stage in Paris on the famous Champs Elysee. I don't know the best viewing point for either stage and if someone can give me some insight it would be much appreciated. I need to know specifically for Alpe d'Huez how early I would need to get there by car before the roads are closed and where I can leave my car. Also, any suggestions on the best place to watch from would be much appreicated. I am staying in Grenoble and plan on driving there but if there is a better way to get up the moutain from the base of the climb please let me know, especially if that would be less of a hassle.

As for the Paris stage, does anyone know where they set up the large screens from and how early I would need to get there to secure a spot.

Thank you in advance,

Jeff
