I never understood why anyone would torture themselves onto a bicycle on such steep hills, tight rural roads and over looooong distances -- call it the marathon of wheels for a yellow t-shirt and "fame" IF you aren't caught doping to win.

Consult this, if you want some superhuman details! Total domination by Merckx, also. Bikes really got better since to cover 4000+/- Kms in a few weeks.

Is the Louvres museum still open when the Champs-Elysées boulevard gets shut down to traffic when the final stretch clocking pushes the last bunch to a photo-finish at the wire?

Never been in Paris.

I had plans, though.

Never been in Paris.
I spent 3 weeks in Paris during March of 1988. Apparently that's the rainy season so it's probably not the best time to be there.

However the one outstanding feature of the city that sticks in my memory was that it was full of dog shit. You literally had to keep your eyes glued to the sidewalk for fear of stepping in it. I'd expect these days they have pooper scooper laws in place and I'm sure that's it's really a very beautiful city but for me Paris will always be the city of dog shit.

One of my family members has been to Paris several times before. Said everyone has a little dog there. Probably the annoying yapping ones that you want to punt like a freaking football.

From holding the whole of Europe to the isolated island of Saint-Helena to a shiny graphite crypt mausoleum (unmatched in meanings or importance to ANY population)... worth recognition of a pivotal Emperor in human history. If Abe Lincoln U_N_I_T_E_D the states of America by eliminating slavery, then Napoléon defended France beyond frontiers.

Hard to deny that Bonaparte became a target for anyone else's syndrome of political control & power, though.
