I would suggest you drive/fly over if there is a few of yous and camp it mate.
I have done the Etape twice, the first time was with Sports Tours Int whom I found good but I have heard bad reviews. However I found them great but very overpriced, but all tour company's will be overpriced for the Etape du Tour.
Second time I drove over, a long drive but cheaper that a tour company. You could consider a flight and car hire I reckon that will be more cost-effective. I am doing the La Marmotte 2012 this way.
Is it Acte 1 or 2? Whatever it is you will find campsites and hotels so don't let that be a factor of not going without a tour company.
I suggest fly or drive whichever is cheaper and camp. Good luck.
Alec.
