For your information, we have cycling friends, Peter & Veronica Latus who have recently moved to Perigord in rural France and just completed a lovely apartment which is entirely geared up to cycling.

Pete knows the area intimately and will either lead runs or suggest them to you.

Kathy and I were over in June of this year and had a lovely holiday, we flew Ryanair from Liverpool with bikes (very cheap) to Limoge where we were picked up by Pete and whisked 35 miles further south to their home. We had a wonderful holiday, part self catering part eating out at extremely cheap restaurants locally.

Just thought that you may like the following details if you ever fancy a cycling holiday in France.

If you fancy booking, just contact us and we will forward the details on to them.

Best regards
