In reply to Jones_88: We went in March this year, climbing at the same grade as you.
It was great - don't have the guide to hand but will try and take a look tonight to refresh my memory!
In general:
People were very friendly and helpful - if you can speak a bit of French then you'll have no problem getting by.
If you're a nervous driver - get somebody else to drive! Roads can be a bit narrow for two vehicles, coaches never move over and the drops are big!
Nothing seems expensive out there really.
'Cafe Paris' is a great place for breakfast - get a pastry from the bakers next door and then grab an Expresso and enjoy your pastry and a coffee sat outside watching the world go by before heading out for the day.
Any specific questions, let me know.
