How much money does the french economy make from tourism during the tour de France?

Right now, it's about 450,000 euros, which is approximately 594,495.
The 2009 winner of the Yellow Jersey receives a prize of EUR 450,000.
I believe they get like a few million dollars which they split among their team. You don't win the tour for the money. You win for the title. The money easily follows if you're the winner and you haven't been found to be a doper. Also the overall winner for the team gets a yellow jersey.
There are actually multiple "winners" in the Tour. Recognized riders include best overall time (maillot juane), best sprinter (maillot verte), best climber (king of the mountains, or maillot à pois rouges), and a few others.
Besides eternal fame and glory (in the eyes of Europe at least), that rider is considered top pick for teams that wish to compete in the Tour next year. There's also prize money--the maillot juane gets somewhere around $720,000 to $750,000 (US).
Representing the prestige of the race, these riders are also presented with special jerseys. Riders who end a stage of the race with the best overall time get to take home the "yellow jersey" (english for maillot jaune) and wear it in the next day's stage. The person ending le Tour with the best time gets to wear it next year on stage 1 if they compete. Same thing with the other riders--maillot verte is the "green jersey", maillot à pois rouges is the "polka dot jersey", etc.
There are also trophies, lion stuffed animals, flowers, podium girl kisses, and special prizes awaiting riders who accomplish certain things like stage wins, fastest to a certain landmark, and others.
