In the Tour de France, prior to 1975 was it? - where was the finishing point for the final (20th) stage?



And why was it moved from the previous location/site to the Champs Elysee?

It was moved for political reasons to make the French happy.

P
The final stage prior to 1975 was in the Parc des Princes ( from 1903 to 1967 ) and then in the Cipale ( also known as V茅lodrom de Vincennes 1968 - 1974 ) . I think it was moved from the previous location thanks to an idea from Yves Mourousi, a french journalist, who managed to convince the president ( Val茅ry Giscard d'Estaing ) to choose the Champs Elys茅es as the final stage of the Tour.
