Accueil Vélo and Accueil Rando
We are proud to be part of the Haute Vienne tourist boards “Accueil Rando” (Welcome Hikers) and “Accueil Vélo” (Welcome Cyclists) schemes due to our proximity to popular walking and cycling routes.
The Accueil Vélo and Rando is a sign of quality for the accommodation we provide, and of the services we offer to our guests. We can offer high quality accommodation in La Charnière, our 4-star classified Gite, or our Private Bed and Breakfast Suite The Annexe which is accredited on the Chambre d’hôtes référence® scheme.
It may be that you are staying here as an overnight stay as part of alarge hiking or walking itinerary, as a dedicated walking or cycling holiday, or just to be able to explore on foot or on a bike whilst you are staying in the area.
There are multiple routes available in the area for off road hiking and exploring, from short 30-minute circuits to national Randonnée and cycling routes passing close by such as the the EV3 Scandiberique national cycle route, the Voie Verte des Hauts de Tardoire and La Grande Boucle in the Périgord-Limousin Park. We are also situated just off of the historic route of Richard the Lionheart.
We offer comfortable accommodation options with a warm welcome, and provide extras for your stay tailored for our cycling or hiking guests.
For our guests using our location as a base for cycling or hiking holiday, there are some interesting routes for the commune, and further afield, passing points of interest such as the ruins of Chateau Lavauguyon, the source of the Charente river or the priory in Les Salles Lavauguyon. Details on local routes are provided for our guests.
Additionally there is a very useful free app called Loopi, created in partnership with the local tourist boards, which can be downloaded to your phone and can show you the nearest circular routes, guide you around the trails, and even giving you directions to join at the nearest point from wherever your position (ie starting from here, or a parking area). These are not just localised but trails can be found in most areas you may find yourself during your stay.
All of this information is provided for our guests in our guest information pack, or please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to discuss our accommodation, facilities and services for your cycling or hiking trip.
