We both ride Harley Davidsons and have toured around France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Andorra, Germany and the United States. We can provide a great relaxing place to stay while you explore this beautiful region of France and help with some routes too. We can also sort a food package for you so you can relax after a hard day enjoying all that riding 😁😎 Le Mans with it’s famous racing circuit is about an hour’s ride from us on fantastic roads.
There is safe and secure parking for your bikes, under cover if needed. We can help too with air for tyre pressures and tools if needed. We have to do a minimum of 3 nights stay purely because of the cleaning and turnaround of the entire gite. We can sleep up to 6 people with 6 single beds or two super-kings and 2 singles.
