What our guests say
What a great base for cycling this is. Either bring your own bike or hire at the lodge. The rooms are great and the food is fantastic. Elma and Mark... read more are wonderful hosts. Elma is a first class cook and Mark’s knowledge of Pyrenees cycling is second to none. You won’t fail to enjoy the lodge, the cycling and the beautiful area.

I've stayed at Les Deux Velos in September 2009 and 2010 and have had a wonderful time cycling the local Cols. Mark and Elma are extremely good hosts, not... read more only providing excellent meals, sourced from their vegie garden, but also providing lots of advice on roads and local circuits. Mark is a keen rider and enjoys accompanying guests on rides and advising which restaurants to stop at for lunch. If you break down he is willing to perform rescue missions (I broke 5 spokes in a cycling accident rendering the rear wheel non-operational). Mark was willing to drive for 2.5 hours past the Port de Pailheres to perform the rescue. I would recommend the lodge to anyone who enjoys cycling and walking. There are other guests on site and for the single cyclist you will find other people to ride with. The cave paintings near Tarascon sur Ariege are definately worth a visit. A local cycling jersey (Ariegeoise ride) can be purchased from the Tourist Information office in Tarascon.

Co-owner Mark has treated us very well. He had to "survive" for 3 weeks without his partner Elma, who would normally provide the dinners, but who was now doing that... read more for the Dutch cyclists at the Paris Olympics. Mark put a lot of care in preparing our meals after our bike rides and they were very varied and tasted great. He also fixed a broken spoke and told us a lot of things about the area. Breakfasts were copious and ideal to prepare you for a bike ride.
The room was nice and clean and could be ventilated with cool air during the mornings and evenings.
The workshop/garage was great to safely store the bikes and also for doing maintenance with all tools available.
We can recommend Les Deux Velos for anyone who loves to cycle and hope to return there one day.
