Where to stay
Book Les Saisies for the night of the stage if you want to walk to the finish. Beaufort, in the valley, is quieter. Three days earlier, on Sunday 11 July, amateurs ride L'Étape du Tour on almost the same route, so rooms here go fast for that weekend too.

A climb this long and steep is where the race splits up, so any spot on the slopes gives you time to see the riders. Bastille Day brings big French crowds, so get there early. Roads close to cars well before the riders arrive.
Ride it yourself
At 8.3% for more than 12 km, the Bisanne rarely lets up. Pace yourself from the bottom, ride early in the day, and carry enough water.
