Every single rider that ever enters the Champs Elysees on the final day of the Tour de France get goosebumps (or a similar phrase based on their cultures). It is an awesome mixture of emotions, but I am sure that pride to have made it and awe of the spectacle of racing up to the l'Arc Triomphe. The icing on the cake as it were, is when the French airforce does its beautiful flyover down the Champs as the peloton goes up. The only other time the Champs Elysees is shut down to traffice is just ten days ago for Bastille Day. There are rumors that it may be turned into a pedestrian and bicyle only road. That does beg the question, where will the Tour race to then?
This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at greigleach.com or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above. Since it is an original work of art, it is a first come first served reality. The painting was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.Richesonart.com. The work sells for $90 USD including shipping, and yes, international shipping is available.
