(Reuters) - Booed by the locals in Marseille 24 hours earlier, Chris Froome charmed huge crowds in Paris on Sunday with a classy victory speech after claiming his "toughest" Tour de France title.

The British rider was once showered with urine thrown by fans during the 2015 edition before wiping himself down to claim his second title in cycling's most famous race.
