		Most stages take place in France though it is very common to have a few stages in nearby countries, such as Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany as well as non-neighbouring countries such as the Republic of Ireland, United Kingdom (visited in 1974 and 1994) and the Netherlands.

	Video: La Course en Tete / The Greatest Show on Earth - DVD: World Cycling Productions
		Both films focus on the career of Belgian cycling champion Eddy Merckx: La Course en Tête in a general sense, showing a slice of Merckx's life, and The Greatest Show on Earth in a more focused sense, following the course of the 1974 Giro d'Italia.
		If you're already familiar with bicycle racing and the professional cycling scene in the 1970s, then you'll find elements of interest, such as spotting stars like Gimondi and Fuente in the pack, or analyzing Merckx's position on the bicycle during the scenes that show him racing.
		While The Greatest Show on Earth tends to be a little too heavy-handed with the montages of images set to music, it does have a reasonably good narrator as well, who provides insight into what's going on strategically in the race.
