A cycling frenzy swept through Montmartre on Sunday as tens of thousands of fans greeted Tour de France riders during the final stage of the sport’s biggest race.
Hours before the peloton was due to arrive, spectators had already packed the Parisian neighbourhood — once bohemian, now bustling with tourists — eager to secure a prime spot to watch riders climb the iconic hill during the final stage of the race.
When the peloton finally neared the steep and cobbled Rue Lepic, the area erupted into a deafening roar.
The Tour broke with tradition this year as organisers looked to build on the popular success of the Paris Olympic road race. During last year’s Olympics, massive crowds lined the streets of Montmartre — the area in northern Paris famous for its artistic heritage and sweeping city views — to cheer on riders.
