It was at Praz de Lys this year (2007), in case the message wasn't clear. I assume it won't be there in 2008.

The web site is http://www.adorr.fr/ However, they seem to take it offline when there's nothing going on, so it may disappear for the winter.

Are you sure it won't be there next year too?  The note from Jacques Amiot seems pretty clear, and surely he should know!

I see on the web site that it says it'll be there again, with new dates, so it does seem likely. It just seems a bit surprising as it's traditionally moved around from year to year.

Having said that, Praz de Lys was very nice in 2007---fantastic scenery, a nice mix of mountains and forest, just a *lot* of climb. I'd happily go back!
