can anyone identify that place?  There's a JAX neon sign right in front of that old building and an 18th century old cannon just behind the host of TAR France.  BTW, who is he?

I have no idea who is he? Maybe some actor or new host?

Umm that Isn't the host of TAR France. He doesnt match the one in photo:


His hair colour and body build is different. The confirmed host is Alexandre Delperiér
There was also another photo on twitter which I can't seem to find right now that had the host posing with someone and it did not look like that guy.

[Declive]

Any chance of having more than 1 host?

[Traveller7]

Another sighting when they were in LA at the Disney Concert Hall:

Had a cool job playing sax on a street corner for an episode of Amazing Race (France) yesterday, lol.



This was on 3 July in Paris.  (Is this TAR France?)


This was on 6 July in Wat Pho, Bangkok.

Loverocked's post has the phrase 5mon next to the tweet. I'm guessing that means 5 months ago, which is way before TAR France began filming. It's probably some other version of the race, but I'm not sure which one.
Some of the pictures she posted are pretty old, so take that into account before speculating. They are great finds none the less.

I saw that second picture from 3 July in Paris shortly after it was posted. I recall that being somewhere else in Europe (maybe Prague) but I could be wrong. At the time, I decided it was just a decorative banner that was red and yellow and didn't post about it. If it is in Paris, the timing would be right for the beginning of the race.

[Plaidmoon]

I came across some information suggesting that during the Cape Town leg, TAR France may have had a task where the racers had to go diving in a shark cage and mingle with the sharks! I'm trying to get more details about this and will post it if I get anything more.

It is the Institut de France in Paris.  It is directly across the river from the Louvre.  The bridge in the foreground is the pont des Arts.

[boston_jen]

The bridge is lined with "love locks" left by people who want to leave a symbol of their eternal love.  The city cut all of the locks off back in 2010, but the tradition continued, and the city backed down.  In the picture from July 3 we see the locks are quite numerous again.  Perhaps it's a "key" to a starting line task?

[Plaidmoon]

Boston_Jen, I stand corrected. I guess I was wrong about that. It still looks too quiet for a TAR shoot, but I do see what could be a couple of gear bags on the left side of the bridge. The "love locks" could make for an interesting starting line task. I look forward to seeing what TAR France has done.

[Plaidmoon]

I found a picture that was just posted to Twitter in the last few hours from the leg in Los Angeles. It looks like they got a celebrity to hand out clues across the street from Graumann's Chinese Theater, if I'm not mistaken.

I look forward to seeing what TAR France has done.

Yes, me too!    
I am hopeful that I will be able to follow the dialogue when it airs. I just started teaching my daughter French, and she is a huge fan of TAR too.

  50.000 Euros? That's worse than TARA's $100,000.   

[Alenaveda]

50.000 Euros? That's worse than TARA's $100,000.   

Or compared with the $ 250.000 dollars of TARLA.
