Looking about doing some cyclo-touring next year for the TDF. Never done this before (planning on doing some trial runs before) and don’t know where to start (can’t find much on the web). Don’t want to go with a tour group just want info on routes and camping, etc. Thinking of landing in Paris and taking a train to wherever the mountain stages are (I’m aware that Tour route won’t be released till Oct).
Thx

What kind of info?
All my riding in France has been solo, and I’ve always gone as part of work and had a car/hotel. Logistically it seems a bit of a pain to camp, particularly if you don’t have a car. Riding solo over there has never been an issue. Next to impossible to get lost, roads are great. Only issue I’ve ever had is the lack of availability of places to get food/drink. Be prepared to carry as many provisions as possible to make it through those long days.
Mostly looking for websites with tips on where to stay, how to travel during the TDF.
