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 after a long illness, 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.
›  Free taxi service to local restaurants from Atelier de la Rose if you do not wish
   to ride.
›  Laundry service and hand-washing facilities for clothes.

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