Hotels-Paris.co.uk - Experience the Tour de France on the Champs Elysees

The world's most famous cycling event concludes on France's most famous street.

2011-06-22

PARIS, FRANCE, June 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) You do not have to be a cycling fan to know that one of the most iconic images in sport is the sight of the triumphant rider crossing the finish line of the Tour de France at the end of the Champs Elysees.

Parisians line the street every year to witness the frantic sprint finish that sees one rider enter the sporting history books. Frequently, the overall tournament winner is yet to be decided going into the final day, which makes for an even more exciting finish.

Whereas many stages of this iconic race involve scaling daunting mountains or taking on gruelling treks across the country, here the focus is on a flat run to the line. The Champs Elysees is of course an attraction in its own right, with the beautiful Arc de Triomphe certainly a sight worth seeing.

This year, the riders will arrive in Paris on July 24th, so you can enjoy Paris in the summertime alongside this momentous sporting occasion.

Hotels-paris.co.uk has a number of quality boutique hotels to choose from that will allow you to make the most of your visit. Establishments such as Pershing Hall can really make this a visit to remember.

Mac vs. PC - Which Keyboard Are You Tapping? in African Business Review

2011-06-22

Ultimately, this boils down to operating systems - what is now the Mac OS X compared to Windows 7. To be politically correct, this is a generalisation to an extent. Firstly, the term 'PC' stands for a personal computer, so technically includes any brand of computer or laptop. Also, because Macs use Intel chips, they can now run Windows if purchased separately, whereas the Mac OS remains exclusive to Mac computers. But referring to a PC will, for most people, conjure up images of a typical desktop computer run on Windows. Like any argument worth its salt, there are ...
