Hello Fabien,
there're 8 road crossing point along RUS-MN border.
1. Tashanta in Altay Republic (multilateral).
2-4. Shara-Sur, Khandagaity, Tsaagan-Tolgoi in Tuva Republic (all of them bilataral)
5-6. Mondi and Kyakhta in Buryat Republic (bilateral and multilateral subsequently)
7-8. Verkhny Ulkhun and Solovijevsk - in Zabaykalsky Krai (bilateral and multilateral subsequently)
So, your route goes on Mondi. You have no chanse to cross the border here using French passport. Of course, you can write paper letter to Buryat branch of Border Guard Service of Russia using Russian language and the adress:
Пограничное управление ФСБ России
по Республике Бурятия
670045, Улан-Удэ, проспект Автомобилистов, 3а
and ask them official infos. Add international reply coupon in your letter obligatory.
The Border Guard Service must answer you during 30 days plus time for postal transmitting your letter (20+20 days). So, after approx. 3 months you can have official answer about possibility to cross the border via Mondi with French passport. I think, 95% it will be official rejection.
I think, you should redirect your route to Kyakhta multilateral crossborder point (approx. 500 km from Mondi).

Hello M.Repovesi,
First, Thank you for the speed and the precision of your answer, and sorry for my bad english ...
If I'm understand you, i can cross the fronteer in Mondy with french passeport, special permit to make camping and walking freely in this area, russian and mongolian visa and i must stay on the main road. I'm right ?
The address to ask for the permit is the same that to ask for the information ?
Пограничное управление ФСБ России
по Республике Бурятия
670045, Улан-Удэ, проспект Автомобилистов, 3а
And i have to learn Russian to write my letter ... english don't work ?
I think too that redirect my road to Kyakhta is more easy ... Furthermore I have other probleme with mongolian visa who's excedeed 30days, i must go to ulan bator to register me before 7 days to enter in Mongolia.
But i'm going to try because make the road between the lake BaГЇkal and the lake Khovsgol is now a obsession !
You talk me about foreigner protected area, those are my two road for 2013 and 2014 :
http://www.objectif-kamtchatka.com/?page_id=519
http://www.objectif-kamtchatka.com/?page_id=522
Are restricted zones present on my routes ?
Thank you still for your help !
Sincere greetings
Fabien

Wrong.
A) If you have French passport+RUS-visa+MN-visa, you can use Kyakhta and must go along main road. Another permits not needed in this situation.
B) If you want walking freely in frontier zone (using any road, not only main), you can ask frontier-zone-permit (FZP). Making FZP is more or less easy (I think only 5% refusal).
C) If you want to cross the border via Mondy with French passport, you can ask another permit (Mondy-permit, MP). Making MP is very hard, almost impossible (I think 95% refusal).

You can try English, but I think better way is using Russian. Can French frontiers in Corse use Russian, he-he?

Ask help from Mongolian guys, not Russian 
Only approx. 15 km about Mongolian Border.
No this route...But, where are you planing from Yakutsk?

Fabien,
I guess Repovesi loaded you down with all that stuff about border zone. Don't worry! No problem if you just cross it along the road and do not stay overnight outside a hotel or other facilities where overnighting is permitted officially.
I had a look on your map. A you really going to travel for half a year? Your route is long, but half a year seems pretty much time. You can take a detour to lake Khovsgol from Moron and then continue to Kyakhta via Erdenet and so on. In this case, you may not see the very south of lake Baykal. If it is a must, take a train from Ulan-Ude to Kultuk and start over.
Update: Sorry, I saw that you start from Irkutsk, not finish. Just change the direction of my suggestion.
[Updated on: Tue, 27 March 2012 00:07] Bicycly yours,
Victor

Ok ... I am going to plan other "official" routes if I have no authorization for mondy. Certainly Kyakhta or Tashanta.
Quote: | You can try English, but I think better way is using Russian. Can French frontiers in Corse use Russian, he-he?
|
Not false I'm starting to learn russian , it's be useful for more one year in Russia 
Other solution, i'm going to stay in Irkutsk one or two weeks before start my travel, you think is possible to ask the permit directly in the city ?
Quote: | No this route...But, where are you planing from Yakutsk?
|
I want to go in Tcherski !
Quote: | Don't worry! No problem if you just cross it along the road and do not stay overnight outside a hotel or other facilities
|
But i prefere wild camping and little road than hotel ... so i think it's better to take the frontier-zone-permit !
Quote: | A you really going to travel for half a year? Your route is long, but half a year seems pretty much time

Yes i planed large : 2 month to do Irkutsk-Irkutsk around the lake BaГЇkal because there is a lot of parts without road.
Before, one month to go in mongolia
And two or three month in mongolia.
If i have time, i would explorate country 
Quote: | You can take a detour to lake Khovsgol from Moron
|
Edit : Can you see the lake Khovsgol before to cross mondy ? And the road between Irkutsk and Mondy is nice to see ?
Yes i think i do that if i use the road which crosses Kyakhta !
.....
Other subject without any link with cycling,
Victor and M.Repovesi i see you live in St.Petersburg, and i'm going to stay here in january 2014 to visit the city during one or two weeks. Nobody pratice judo ? I search some russian club to continue has to make a little of training and test the Russian judokas.
Have a good day !

I mean that the border zone is not too wide. You can overnight before it and cross it in one day. No permit is needed in such case.

To these guys, it took just 11 days to get to Ulan-Ude from Novy Uoyan. Good report, it is in Russian, but photos talk!

Bad idea. The permit making process for foreign citizens goes on 60 days.

Tcherski-town is in frontier zone. You must have permit.
manigoldo38 wrote on Wed, 28 March 2012 01:49 | Before, one month to go in mongolia. And two or three month in mongolia.
|
NB: Russian visa valid 90 days in time frame 183 days. So, you should travel in Mongolia for 93 days minimum between visiting Russia, if you was in Russia for 90 days during first trip.

Ok, but i think i choose an other route crossing by Kyakhta ... no problems of visa and permit

wow good pictures, but for the moment the rapport is not readable without notions of Cyrilic ...
Quote: | Bad idea. The permit making process for foreign citizens goes on 60 days.

Ok if i project to realize this route, i'll anticipe the procedure.
Quote: | Tcherski-town is in frontier zone. You must have permit.

I've already said. See the Order.

Everybody, except local people (with a registration in the internal Russian passport) must have a permit. Person, who tries going to the frontier zone without a permit will be fined for 500 rubles (approx. 12EUR). But it's bad idea to go to the zone with 12 EUR, because this fine will be documented by FSB as administrative offense against state administrative order.
And, due to Russian migration law, only one administrative protocol in field of "against state administrative order" can be result of deportation abroad of Russia, and a block next entry to Russia for 2 years. 
So, the entry to the frontier zone without a permit is more or less normal for Russian citizens only, because the fine is not so big.

No problem i respect the law If i can't have the permit for tcherski, i can go to other city border of arctic zone for example Tiksi or Pevek. They are in frontiere-zone too ?
Just a question about the visa : i read on various website, only 3months visa is allowed for tourist ... it's true ? For my second travel planned in Russia 3 months are too short ...
Thanks
Fabien

Tiksi, yes in frontier zone in Yakutia (Sakha) Rep.
в муниципальном образовании "Булунский улус (район)" - территории сельских поселений Быковский наслег, Хара-Улахский наслег, Тюмятинский наслег, городского поселения поселок Тикси;
Pevek, yes in frontier zone of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.
в муниципальном образовании "Чаунский район" - территории сельских поселений Айон, Рыткучи, Янранай, городского поселения Певек;
But NB! All territory (100%) of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug is in another type of closed zone, so called TZI (территория, закрытая для иностранцев, territory restricted for foreign citizens). It's another type of permit, very hard for foreigners (for citizens of Russia this permits never needed). That permits issue of FSB directly, not Border Guard Service of Russia.

Yes, it's true. All type of nonimmigrant Russian visa is 90 days maximum. There are 87 subtypes of Russia visa, see there.
Tourist visas have type 04, subtypes 55-60, maximum 30 days, maximum number of entries 2.
Guest visas have type 02, subtypes 35-40, maximum 90 days, maximum number of entries 2.
Business visas have type 03, subtypes 41-54, maximum 1 year, but no more 90 days during each period 183 days, maximum number of entries unlimited.
The citizens about 90 contries in the World include Serbia, Montenegro, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Israel, SAR Hong Kong, Turkey, Thailand and Peru can go to Russia without visas. Russia government is asking visa free regime between RUS and EU from 2002. So, say "thanx" for your Brussel government

677000, Республика Саха(Якутия),
г. Якутск, ул. Дзержинского, 6
And, NB! The laws in Russia are liberalising very fast. For example, in 2011 the migration registration of foreign travellers was abolished, and the borders RUS-AZ and RUS-GEO were opened for all passports (all citizenships).
So, I think on 2014 some closed zones will be opened.
Sincerely yours, Mr. Repovesi
