Hi

I was wondering if anybody might be able to recommend somewhere to hire mountain bikes in Brittany, France ? We are going on holiday next month to a Keycamp site at Benodet near Quimper. Unfortunately, it's a week after they stop hiring on-site so I am going to have to find somewhere else. An English-speaking outfit would be useful as my French is not the best!

Thanks

Steve.

May be ask the "Pages Jaunes" (Yellow pages) Cycles Hire, Benodet, there are 2 answers, but it is not precise if they speak English !

Was there a month ago.
Took our own bikes, but I did clock a bike hire outfit in Benodet.
It's on the main street away from the beachclub area - there's a mini roundabout, follow this up from the promenade. Mountain bike = VTT (vey tey tey). There are a lot of Brits / Irish camop in the area, so I wouldn't worry about language. Take your passports with you - last time I had to leave these as a deposit.
If you can get your bikes in your car, there is a lot of cycling to do around the coastal path in that area - really enjoed it. There is also a dedicated cycle path (old railway track) from Pont L'Abbe into Quimper (16km).

Thanks very much for your replies, very helpful of you. If anybody else has further suggestions/recommendations in addition to those above, please post!

Cheers

Steve
