Just followed some other riders doing it, does look at lot of fun. With my AAA hat on, as it's not a BRM ride, I reckon you should be able to enter it as a 1000km Brevet Populaire (BP) DIY giving you the full 100hrs to complete it if you opt for the Randonneur option - so no distance points then but can still claim AAA for it.

I first heard about it about 10 years ago and thought it sounded great, but timing has never worked for me. Different route every year.
A few people on YACF have done it, there will be old threads on there with info.

Hanging out with Adam K after the ALPI has now got me trying to convince the missus that Le Mille Sud would be a good idea...

Anyone done this, doing this, know about it, etc? It has Ventoux as its sting in the tail which is one of the big ones I've never climbed before so that is almost reason enough to ride. Bit worried that I should be saving myself for @skinny L'Espirit but it's not like I haven't overdone stuff before :)
