Accommodation

The Priory

The Priory is conveniently located opposite the village bakery and a couple of recently refurbished bars. It's the social hub of our holidays. Parts of the building are over 500 years old and in the past it has served as a priory, the village 'Mairie' (the mayors offices) and possibly a 'Safe House' for the French Resistance during the Second World War.

We have double/twin and single rooms as well as a shady inner courtyard and a south facing garden. In the lounge we have a vast collection of cycling books, magazines and Tour de France videos so you can see the pros riding effortlessly up the climbs of the Vercors and Alpe d'Huez. And when you've had enough of cycling, there's a large selection of films and TV series you can watch.

The fully-equipped kitchen in the main building is available for making tea and coffee as well as snacks or even small meals at any time during the day.   

We have a large bike room with secure bike storage and maintenance facilities. There's somewhere to clean your bike should it get covered in cake crumbs and a washing machine to wash the ice-cream from your cycling tops. The use of the washing machine and powder is complementary.

We don't like to impose rules on our guests; the atmosphere is very laid back so that you soon feel away from it all and hopefully it's a home from home.

Hotel Rome

The Hotel Rome is across the road from the Priory. The rooms are all en-suite rooms and most have a view over the lake and aqueduct. Guests who stay at the hotel also have full use of the facilities at the Priory.

Meals

Breakfasts are usually at the Priory. We serve a variety of cereals and home made muesli, along with warm fresh bread and croissants from the village bakery. You can also have a bowl of porridge or egg on toast.

In the evenings we either eat in the local restaurants or, on occasions, at the Priory. We can cater for vegetarians and other dietary preferences.

For your post ride snack, you're spoilt for choice: a stagger across the road for a Religieuse or a Chocolate Eclair or a piece of home made apple and walnut cake at the Priory. Just don't be too quick to jump on the scales when you get home.

Internet facilities

If you want to bring your laptop we have Wifi, as does the hotel, which you can use. We also have a computer available for internet access so you can keep in touch with your friends and family.
