The latest in a series of photo blogs about bike facilities at cycling hotels, B&Bs and gites in France. This from Laurence at Holiday Inn Express at Saint-Nazaire.
I recently posted this picture of the bike workshop at Chalet Ribot in the Alps. I've since been inundated with photos from other owners (most of them cyclists themselves) on our bike-friendly accommodation list.
Laurence at the Holiday Inn Express at Saint-Nazaire in Pays de la Loire sent me these pictures, along with a message that he's keen to welcome more cyclists to his hotel.
Here's his dedicated bike parking area. It's used by cyclists making their way up and down Atlantic Coast bike route, and those heading in and out of the Loire Valley.
Here's where you'll be washing your bike if you stay with Laurence. There is also a bike maintenance area, and the hotel conforms to French 'accueil vélo' ('cyclists welcome') tourist standards. Maps, bike hire and laundry facilities all available on site or close by. Find out more here.
