So watching the Champs-Élysées last night I got the nod from the missus to wake up in Paris this time next year. Obviously the city and not the socialite. Something I’m sure we all want to do. But talking to someone on a ride recently he tells me his dad went to the Giro this year and reckons its far better to visit than the Tour as it is not so overwhelmed with people and you actually get to see much more. You get closer to the riders and on the rest day they actually rode with some pro’s. The tour probably has lots more to offer in terms of atmosphere and visiting the two host countries there isn’t much to choose between the two if you were going there for the architecture, culture and heritage as both has more than enough on offer.
So to the guys who’s been to either/both, what was your experiences like and which do you recommend? Oh wonderfully informed hubber, please do tell.
And then off course who would you like to wake up in? Paris or Nicole?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who errs, who comes short again and again, who knows great enthusiasms; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
