it'd been mentioned before here and there are good accounts of the experience on the guardian, the independent, rapha and other blogs.

Hi all,

I'm doing the Etape du Tour Act 1 this year which departs from Albertville on 8th July. Everything is sorted apart from (crucially) my accommodation (and maybe my fitness)....everyone in the world seems to have booked all of the hotels and the campsites as well for those days....just wondering if anyone here had any suggestions that I may not have thought of to help me out!!

Cheers,

Ben
