In reply to samsimpson:
Did the CCC six years ago, so things may have changed (for the better?), but the frequent food stops have to be seen / eaten to be believed. From what I remember.... bananas (cut into pieces), orange pieces (no peel, also cut into bits), bread, various cheeses and charcuterie, and probably more - all as standard. Plus soup / pasta at some stops, and big food tent at Champex (about half way round). Sponsored by the supermarkets, so no shortage of nice eats, and we got the impression that the villages on the route try to lay on something a bit special. We took a packet of powdered mash (the wife is allergic to wheat), and added hot water at the food stops, so it might be worth considering anything savoury and instant like this. Brilliant event, hope the weather's good....
