La Retirade is a gîte (hostel/refuge) that has been welcoming cyclists, hikers, horseback riders, and more for 20 years! The gîte underwent a beautiful renovation and expansion in 2025. We have a lovely, brand-new, secure bike storage area equipped with electrical outlets. Bikes can be washed with a hose in the courtyard, and there are basic repair tools and a kitchen/laundry room with free access. Meals (organic and local), breakfast (for athletes!), and packed lunches are available. Don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to welcoming you!
