Why France?
It's a big country where two-wheelers are regarded positively and where motorcycling is not merely a sprint between showers or a fight for the fast lane.

Why the South-West?
For the weather, the food, the wines and the region's outstanding value for money. On quiet roads you'll find you can use a little more of the road and get a lot more from each ride.

Why Atelier de la Rose?
To stay in a small, friendly B & B that has motorcyclists' interests at heart.

It was founded by Ed and Sally in 1991. Ed was a life-long motorcyclist. Ed died in 2003, but Sally continues to welcome those who choose to tour on two-wheeled machines.

Our flexible and personal service for motorcyclists includes:

›  Bed and breakfast.
›  Secure, undercover garage.
›  Taxi service to local restaurants from Atelier de la Rose if you do not wish to ride.
›  Road-books (tank-bag sized).
›  Laundry service and hand-washing facilities for clothes.
›  Groups catered for
›  Booking service for alternative accommodation.

Our non-motorcycling options include accompanied woodland walks and guided visits to historic sites.

The other sections of this website will give you more details. We are always pleased to deal with your enquiries if you do not find the answers here.

You can also rent a BMW, Yamaha or Suzuki motorcycle from Mission Motos. They deliver them to Toulouse or Bordeaux Airports!
