Seems there are 2 BW. Which one is closer to the events?
and how is the Privilege L'escale Marine?
Any chain hotels there?

just got the sad news from my +1 that now the TdF is not possible.
So, with much regret, please remove both our names from the maybe list.
Looking forward to hearing about the wonderful time we'll be missing...

TGV tickets on sale !!!
almost all cheap TGV tickets are already gone for that weekend. hurry up! :-)
and there are some direct TGV to Paris which are NOT visible on bahn.de - I take TGV at 4pm on sunday afternoon. We will downsize sunday activities a little bit more due to not being enough people.

Lot's of decisions here. It sounds like the Angelterre is a bit nicer, but the Masqhotel is closer to the train station. Prices are now pretty much the same AFAI can tell. Under 100 EUR is quite acceptable IMO.
What do others think? How about Saturday activities, which one is better?

Decided I will go with the original BW. Although further from the train station, it is a rate I pay at the hotel and I just got a nice promo from BW when I stay 2 nights ... so here we go
