Come cycle, play golf or tennis or just relax in the Pyrenees...

Are you..?

A bit worn down by working endless hours, trying to get it all done amidst the hustle and bustle of the daily grind?
Or maybe you’re retired and now have time to spend with your family and friends and want to do something just that little bit special?

Cycle the Pyrenees with us, or…

Revitalise the body and mind; experience cycling, golf and tennis for an action packed activity holiday in the French Pyrenees… or relaaaax in the foothills of these beautiful Pyrenean mountains; breathe in the pure air, take a leisurely ramble, or rejuvenate yourself in one of our healthy spas and bring your senses back to life!

What we’d like to do for you!

Peter and Hazel Gibbs specialise in guided Pyrenean Cycling Holidays and would like to welcome you to their bed and breakfast accommodation situated centrally in the foothills of the Pyrenees. For all those golf and tennis enthusiasts amongst you, Peter would love to show you the stunning local golf courses with scenic views of the Pyrenees (some flat courses and some mountain goat-like!) or tennis courts if using a racquet is more your game. But we’re also here for those who want to slow down, enjoy the sites, restaurants, spas (our local spa at Bagnere de Bigorre has open air Jacuzzis on the roof!) and relax!

The scenery is stunning in all seasons, whether it is snow and skiing, cycling the Pyrenean valleys with mountain views or climbing through silent forests up to the summits. There is much to see and do whether its sport, shopping in villages with old crafts or enjoying the regional cuisine.

So contact us now for your break whether it be cycling, golf, tennis, skiing, rambling or relaxing.

About the bike riding; Col d’Aspin here we come!…

Living in the south of France and particularly in the French Pyrenees, we have access to a range of traffic free roads perfect for cycling that take you through stunning scenery and quaint villages; all with the backdrop of the hills and mountains.

The bike rides up to the summit of the cols are so quiet you could here a pin drop if it wasn’t for your heavy breathing! My favourite climb, the Col d’Aspin, is only an hour’s ride from the house. Each time I go out, I see new sights and the weather paints a different picture as the light changes every day. Cycling in the region however gives you the option of easy valley rides as well as the strenuous cols of the Pyrenees and I will be delighted to show you the peaks and the troughs of all our local routes.

Refreshment stops are different here to your local café but just as interesting. All day cycle rides can include a lakeside lunch stop at a local auberge for example, with a menu for only 10 euros. For that extra training session, use our multi-gym and bike turbo. Call or email us now and book your holiday or break here!
