Starting with Finist\u00e8re and the city of Brest, which is certainly not Copenhagen in terms of hotel infrastructure, but where the locals make up for it with great enthusiasm! Not surprisingly, the town of M\u00fbr-de-Bretagne and the demanding slope of Menez Hiez count among the arrivals. Which poses another challenge from an accommodation perspective.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nThe Alps will be on the menu from July 3rd, starting from Oyonnax, another municipality where the lack of hotels is likely to make itself felt for the Tour followers. Tignes, which was deprived of its arrival in 2019 due to a mudslide, has been offered a finish and a rest stage as a compensation. The race will then descend into the Rh\u00f4ne valley before returning to the legendary Mont-Ventoux , which hasn\u2019t been climbed since 2016, and where it will again be difficult to find a bed for the night.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nN\u00eemes and Carcassonne will take it from there, after which the caravan will cross the border to settle down for a second rest in Andorra, then go up the French Pyrenees for a beautiful program that will include the Passes of Portet and Tourmalet. Following which, there will barely be any time left to sip a celebratory glass St Emilion before heading towards the Champs-Elys\u00e9es from Chatou.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<strong>VPI specialists have been working since early September to secure rooms for you all along that amazing route, including in the most remote places \u2013 don\u2019t hesitate to ask us for offers<\/strong><\/p><\/div><style>.ld_spacer_6af5d18a30d63{height:32px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"ld-empty-space ld_spacer_6af5d18a30d63\"><\/div><style>.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b.btn-icon-solid .btn-icon{background:rgb(195, 146, 65);}.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b.btn-icon-circle.btn-icon-ripple .btn-icon:before{border-color:rgb(195, 146, 65);}.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b.btn-icon-solid:hover .btn-icon{background:rgb(0, 0, 0);}.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b .btn-icon{font-size:10px;margin-inline-start:20px !important;}.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b{background-color:rgb(195, 146, 65);border-color:rgb(195, 146, 65);color:rgb(255, 255, 255);}.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b:hover{background-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);border-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);}.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b .btn-gradient-bg-hover{background:-webkit-linear-gradient(to right, rgb(0, 0, 0) 0%, rgb(0, 0, 0) 100%);background:linear-gradient(to right, rgb(0, 0, 0) 0%, rgb(0, 0, 0) 100%);}.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b .btn-gradient-border defs stop:first-child{stop-color:rgb(195, 146, 65);}.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b .btn-gradient-border defs stop:last-child{stop-color:rgb(195, 146, 65);}.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b:hover .btn-gradient-border defs stop:first-child{stop-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);}.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b:hover .btn-gradient-border defs stop:last-child{stop-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);}.ld_button_6af5d18a30f5b {font-size:15px;
