Camping Out in Roberval
Above: A group of American cyclists enjoys the late-afternoon sunshine at the Grand Tour Village on the grounds of Roberval's Cité Etudiante.
Below: Cyclists segregate themselves into separate camping areas for early risers (leve-tot) and late risers (leve-tard). There's also a section set aside for volunteers (bénévoles). Each year a small number of cyclists are allowed to register for hotel accommodations. Hotel packages usually sell out on the first day of registration in March.
