water rat Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 We're a chambres d'hote/ B&B in central france and are a useful overnight stop for bikers heading south. We have just got a booking from 4 bikers who will be staying for 4 nights. Any ideas for rideouts from you bikers out there? We're just south of La Chatre 36.W Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Le Vigeant (circuit-valdevienne) is one good point to aim for. Something on most days and, apart from big meetings, usually free.Information as to whats on HEREOradour (the village of the massacre) is another worthwhile visit. Details HEREThere is a Museum of Motor Vehicles in Chattelerault, well worth a visit, details HEREThat should keep them happy.Gary.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water rat Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks ,Gary. We know Oradour ,but wasn't sure if it wasn't too close at 1 hour and a half, then again, we could suggest a v winding route. Also, thinking about the Da Vinci parc at Amboise ,but may be too far.Maybe The Brenne National Park, I'll ask Chris pp if it's worth a visit!W Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 On the question of distances I've been doing accompanied ride-outs for eight years and have found, without exception, that 'shorter distance' days out are preferable. Easy going, more relaxing and plenty of time to stop for photo-shoots - coffee and, of course, lunch breaks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water rat Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks ,that's good advice for us as we're not bikers and don't go anywhere, anyway!My main mode of transport is push bike or horse,so everywhere seems far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
