Hello Nobby
My wife and I are taking ownership of an existing Gite business (capacity) 40 people in the village of Sazos (800m) near Luz St Sauvere and around 10km away from the Pic Du Midi and Col du Tourmalet which I am sure you will know are significant land marks of the tour de France. The village is actually very close to where Lance Armstrong fell a few years ago. We are due to take over this winter so we would be more than ready to accept you and your friends next summer.
We are planning to support cyclists by supplying toolkit and have workshop facilities. In addition I will be building a hanging (lockable) hanging rack for cycles.
On top of this we will be happy to collect groups from nearby airports - in particular Pau is a very handly airport for us.
I cannot give you website details right now but if you want to email me I will gladly send you photographs and similar so that you can see the Gite. We have 10 runs and the internal style is scandanavian - clean and simple. Nice bathrooms with good high pressure showers. The Gite
is an existing business with guests there right now (under current owners).
Please remove all numbers in the following email address ( added to prevent spambots ). If you are interested please reply soon as my email address will change in the next few months.

Hope you might visit us...
