Tour de France 2009 in Ariège:
Saturday 11 July
Andorra — Saint Girons
The peleton will visit the Port d'Envalira (2408m), Ax-les-Thermes, Tarascon, the Col de Port (1249m), Massat, the Col d'Agnès (1570m), Aulus-les-Bains and Oust before the home stretch to Saint Girons. The etang de Lers (mountain lake) will be a prime viewing spot but camping overnight is advised.
This Google map shows the route, and the markers are Bed and Breakfasts. For lists of holiday rentals near the route, see Ax, Tarascon, and the Couserans (encompassing Massat to Saint Girons).
Most hotel and B&B owners are very savvy now and won't accept a one night booking because there's so much demand.
