Tour de France 2020 – Un jour Une histoire : Champs Elysées

L’arrivée finale du Tour est en soi un accomplissement pour tout coureur cycliste, qu’il y arrive vêtu du Maillot Jaune ou qu’il se réjouisse simplement de la fierté d’avoir bouclé la plus grande course du monde. Cet objectif est symbolisé depuis 1975 par l’avenue des Champs-Elysées, devenu l’un des lieux les plus prisés de la planète sprint, pour le prestigieux bouquet en jeu en fin d’étape. L’heure de la célébration prend des allures encore plus spectaculaires lors des éditions anniversaires. C’était le cas pour le centenaire de l’épreuve en 1903 et pour la 100e édition du Tour en 2013, lorsqu’un show de son et lumières a été projeté sur la façade de l’arc de triomphe.
