Our Ride & Dine special package allows our guests to stay for as short or long a period as they wish at Les Magnolias exploring the cycling wonderland of Plaisance and its surroundings. It covers B&B, a special dinner each day, a high quality bike (or ebike) and our fabulous daily advice on ideal routes and stops.
Groups of up to 8 cyclists (minimum 6) are picked up at gorgeous Biaritz for a 6 night program through both the French and Spanish Basque regions and returned to Plaisance for 3 days of cycling in the magic Aveyron. After an afternon and evening of wondering and feasting in Biaritz this program takes cyclists through the picturesque towns of St Jean de Luz, St Sebastian, Getaria and Bilbao. Please enquire with us directly about this program, which includes airport transfers and a daily following vehicle, but where cyclists are required to make their own hotel and restaurant reservations (we will give you great suggestions!) for the Basque part of the tour. This program is only offered in the May, June and September months.
Each year the Tour de France passes close to Les Magnolias and Plaisance. Depending on the official tour route, Cycling Magnolias arranges a program combining a certain number of days cycling the magnificent circuits around Plaisance and a number of days cycling some of that year’s official tour routes. Please enquire with us directly about next year’s Plaisance Tour De France supported or self-guided package.
from OUR clients
“The hotel accommodation, service and food were 5 star. The cycling routes were fantastic. A special thanks for these well planned routes which offer a combination of hard and gentle training, from river valleys to mountain tops, from chateaux to cafés on quite beautiful roads. We had a fantastic holiday with exceptional cycle routes and wonderful village experience in a perfect setting. Very well organised to the last detail. Well done Claudia (‘A’ personality).
“The memories of this tour can only be captured in our hearts, because photo’s don’t have emotions & don’t paint the same pictures, it was an experience of a life time”
“Wow! From easy, pleasant and beautiful family rides along the Tarn river, interrupted by the occasional refreshing swim, to seriously challenging hill-climbs and long rides, Plaisance has it all. The rural French villages, history, restaurants and natural beautiful also add a huge variety of interest for those who prefer not to bruise their bums. It is an ideal place for a group with very mixed cycling abilities and interests. Thanks Claudia!”
“This was a wonderful experience, to cycle in France among the beautiful forests and between the little towns with its charming and romantic history hidden in the ancient buildings, so well kept.
As for our hosts; Claudia and Dietmar, thanks a lot!! You did everything in your power in a very professional way to make our stay very pleasant, arranging lovely evenings with the local festivities, as well as visits to places of interest, not to mention your hospitality at Hotel Les Magnolias and your house.
We highly recommend this trip to any enthusiastic cyclist and his spouse”
Hi Claudia, I have been spending my holidays in Plaisance for the past 30 years, at my old family house close to the Magnolias hotel. I wanted to let you know that the trip that you organised for me this summer was one of the most beautiful sport/tourism experiences of my life – perfect bike, organisation on top, weather beautiful (like all of the time in Plaisance…).
Thank you also for understanding my requirements and allowing me to combine riding with swimming in the Tarn – as I have told you, I am a big fan of the AQUATHLON.
Bye and thank you so much and see your next year with many friends who want to bike !!!!”
