Watching the Tour

Circumstances mean I may have a spare week this summer, during which I may be able to go and watch the Tour.
Ideally, I'd like to go to a stage or two in the Alps or Pyrenees. And take my bike, for obvious reasons - I've never ridden a proper mountain.
However, I have limited experience of this, and would probably travel solo, 'cos no mates...Any tips for getting there (drive vs fly vs train), accommodation, etc? Budget isn't unlimited but I'm prepared to pay reasonable money - but not private jet money, IYKWIM.
All advice, etc welcomed.
TIA

It's just a hill. Get over it.

The route has been available for some time has it not? Accommodation will be your biggest headache. Figure out where based on this before all else.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

And train for those "proper mountains". They are really hard otherwise.0
