Much jealous, one of the few things I'd put on a bucket list.

Have seen Tour stages several times. It's just bonkers and amazing fun just don't take it seriously or try to follow who's doing well that day. For the village you happen to be in it will be their 15 minutes of fame and they will live it up.
