Le Bourg d'Oisans accommodation and bicycle hire

[Shut Up Legs]

I'm looking for accommodation and bicycle hire in Le Bourg d'Oisans, because I want to use it as my base for some Alpine cycling, probably in August next year. There's a bewildering array of accommodation options in the area, so I'm hoping that some of you who have already stayed there can pass on your information on possible options.

I'd prefer B&B style accommodation, and want to hire a bike, because taking one from/to Australia would just be too stressful for me. My main preferences for the accommodation are:

• reasonably comfortable beds.
• free wifi that works (doesn't have to be super-fast, just reliable).
• breakfast included.
• anywhere in or near Le Bourg (i.e. anywhere between Allemond and Le Clapier).
• secure bike storage (this is probably the most important feature).
• can't think of anything else to add to this list, but if I left something out, feel free to mention it!

As for the bike hire, I'm just looking for any road bike with 50/34 front and 11..28 (or 32) rear, endurance geometry, drop bars, reasonably light, i.e. nothing out of the ordinary really.

Regards & thanks,

--- Victor.

Can't help with accommodation, as we stayed at the Belladonne campsite near Allemond, in one of their Chalets, but there is a bike hire shop opposite the Casino supermarket in Bourg itself. We took our own bikes but the ones from here looked decent quality.
