Default LAST STAGE Paris Champs-Élysées

Planning to head over to Paris for the final stage. Any tips or advice?
How many laps of the Paris circuit?
What time should you be there?
Best vantage point?

1. 10 laps of the Champs-Elysees traditionally.
2. AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. You'll have to walk, it's completely shut down the night before.
3. Not a good stage for spectateurs. You're a long way from the road and the average speed on the CE is around 55kmh. Maybe try and get near the Arc (good luck!) where they do a u-turn and is the slowest point of the day. The final day is also big for VIPs, so often the best spots are taken up by grandstands you can't enter.

12.00 or 13.00 too late?
