wow .. I am planning something very similar for end of October, I've never been to France for cycling is that a wrong time to visit this part for cycling?

No idea, it was the first time I've ever been too. It was 30°C every day, with one quite heavy shower, I imagine that temp being lower and chance of rain higher by October

Should be OK - just be aware that the conditions can change very quickly so might be worth bringing a gabba and some full gloves in a saddle bag. Aim to start early at first light and finish well before dusk.

Spent the last week in Vaujany near Alpe d'Huez, got a few rides in. That place is stunning.
Hit up Col de le Croix de fer, Alpe d'Huez, Col du Telegraphe and Galibier, interspersed with beer drinking, lake swimming and cheese eating. 214miles and 37,500ft in five days, new legs please.
