Wat onze gasten zeggen
I stayed at Les Deux Velos for two and a half weeks in September 2018. It was an excellent experience and I have only praise for Les Deux Velos... read more and its proprietors Mark and Elma. The accommodation was comfortable and clean, the food excellent in variety, quality and volume. The facilities for my bike were more than adequate. I was staying there as part of a group of 10 or so Australian friends but the lodge would certainly suit a solo or rider couple. I enjoyed guided and solo rides on the wonderful cols (Col de Port, Col d'Agnes, Col de Saraille etc etc) near the lodge.

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....

Great stay during our bike trip with cosy conversations with the hosts Elma and Mark, and the other guests during the common 3 course (bike size portion) dinner. Don’t forget... read more to get your name on the scoreboard for port de Coll timing. A must stay for any bike tourist!
