Cycling in the French Pyrenees

  I can really recommend this place! The breakfast and dinner is included in the rate, food is amazing! The host Elma and Mark is wonderful. Property has wifi, lounge to... read more relax in and fridge where you can buy soda/beer/wine all day. We stayed here for 1 week, and will absolutely come back. We rentet bike from Elma and Mark, much easier then taking your own bike from home. Mark helped us every morning to make a bike route, gave us good tips and recommodations. We did 500k distance and 10k climbing in a week, a lot of fun and the pyrenees is a huge adventure! We loved to meet new people every day from rest of the world at the lodge. Thanks for everything!

  In June of 2018 I was invited to ride the Midi-Pyrenees's with five friends staying at a cycling lodge which I knew nothing about. The Lodge is owned and... read more run by Elma Blokker and her husband Mark Putter. These proprietors have for me set the new benchmark in customer care. Their attention to detail never stops the moment you arrive. Mark is not only a owner but a true renaissance man capable of just about anything. His shop adjacent to the lodge is the ideal spot to store and repair any bicycle. And Mark, is a superb mechanic dedicated to making sure your ride is not compromised in the event your bike sustains air transport damage or more, as mine did. He got me up and riding immediately. Oh, and did I say that there may not be a better location for a bike hotel in France. Yes the Tour rode directly in front of the lodge this year. If you are looking for challenging rides this is one of the bests hotels in which to reside. Elma, his wife was every bit as good as Mark when it came to making sure we fueled up properly for the day ahead. Moreover, she is a motivator who always helped us keep our spirits up, even when the weather turned a wee bit foul. If you want a cycling week of fun, challenge, and fellowship this is the lodge for you....
