Hi, if I may add my thoughts, as many of you know we run a B+B near the spanish border, there are many Biker friendly B+B's throughout france which also have a secure garage or workshop facilities, most also speak english and provide evening meals on demand. There are times , when in a foreign country, it is nice to just unwind after a great days riding and not have to do battle with the local lingo, have a great meal , a few bevvies and get ones head down for the next day. If you stay at hotels there is always that nagging doubt that when you come down in the morning , your pride and joy will not be there.
Also rather than do a round trip it is also worth looking at going to one spot, then unload all your gear and take days trips out.
This is what most people do when they stay here take a look at this site which has a write up of one of our roads here as well as watch 4 videos of the best biking road in the world.
Dont forget you can always email us and ask questions even if you dont visit us , info costs nothing as forward planning always helps.
