We stayed on August 12th at the Barcelonnette Hotel La Grande Épervière, with character: decor, high ceilings, old Mexican villa. Very warm welcome. Bike garage.
Supermarket nearby, and town center with restaurant. Tidej 7 a.m. too late for us, left at 7 a.m.
First a gentle climb, then a very narrow gorge

Stayed in Guillestre in Cap Verb, a sort of hostel, right on the edge of the pass road, with a picnic room, a fridge, and dinner and breakfast available, perfect for the stage.
It's a steep climb, the first 7 kilometers very steep, up to 12%.
But little traffic, very beautiful scenery, a balcony road above

Overnight stay at a Paris hotel in Briançon. Very warm welcome. Good breakfast. Hotel under renovation. Italian restaurant right next door.
Since we had hiked the Izoard on July 6, we wanted to do a cool and beautiful hike.
Short recovery bike ride, starting from Vallouise Pelvoux towards Prè de Madame

August 9th, rest day at the Marintan campsite in St Michel de Maurienne, hearty breakfast at the campsite hotel.
August 10th, climb to Galibier via Télégraphe and Valloire. Below Télégraphe, it's steep and forested, a bit like the Ventoux, with a 9% gradient, also on the way out of Valloire. After Plan

We slept and had dinner at the Auberge du Reverset near Bg St Maurice.
Friendly welcome. A good and varied menu.
Started at 6:30 a.m., climbed 4:30 a.m. excluding breaks. We left early.
Flashlights required, lots of avalanche tunnels and heavy traffic on the D902, even dangerous, we won't do it again because

Warm welcome. A very nice, renovated Savoyard-style hotel.
The climb to Cormet was almost always in the shade, leaving at 8 a.m.

We stayed at the Dahu on August 5th, in the Fernuy apartment, in St J Sixt, on the roadside of the pass. Small kitchen, fridge, living room/bedroom, ideal for 2. A supermarket is 200m away.
We received a very warm welcome from 2 p.m.

We stayed on August 4th in Cluses, in a Chambre Bleue in a house.
Guesthouse type. Fridge, kitchen, bath towels.
A very warm welcome from Jean Marie.
It's a demanding climb with gradients of 10-11%. The last 3 kilometers are long and steep, and very sunny.
The scenery is stunning, composed of woods, fields

We stayed at L'Ardesia in Morzine on August 3rd. It was possible to cook there. Breakfast included.
Very good. A warm welcome.
August 4th: We began a 9-stage trip around the Route d'Gdes-Alpes, with a tandem and a car. It was difficult to bring a tandem back from Nice, so we made a return trip on a tandem
