Last Look at the Etape Village in Annecy

I rode past the lakefront about 8:30am on my way from the hostel to the station. People are just waking up, but I passed one group of cyclists out for a last training run. Looks like the weather today will be spectacular. I like it that in France all the tents are little pavilions with pointy roofs, and, of course, they're putting in an allee of clipped ball shaped trees.
I hope one day I can return to do an Etape like this one, and feel confident I can ride the whole course without being swept.
