The guesthouse
A garden, a pool and a lounge to share.
The shared lounge opens onto the garden. A coffee machine, crockery, wine glasses, fridge, dishwasher and microwave let you enjoy a coffee, prepare a simple meal or work for a few hours. Outside, the garden has sun loungers, a hammock and a heated pool from mid-May to mid-September.

What awaits you on arrival.
The label is only the starting point: above all, we wanted to solve the small problems that genuinely matter after a day in the saddle.
A repair kit
Basic tools are available for minor problems so you can set off again with confidence. For more substantial repairs, we can direct you to a professional.
Free washing + drying
Leave your cycling clothes with us: washing and drying are included free of charge for guests travelling by bicycle.
Self check-in
Your personal code gives you access to the house and your room late in the evening, even after midnight. We remain available on site.
Secure luggage storage
We can store your luggage before check-in or after check-out. When exploring for several days, leave your panniers behind and travel lighter.
Genuine rest
A lounge with shared fridge and microfiltered water, a garden, spacious rooms and a heated seasonal pool: everything you need to recover between rides.

Ride from Bordeaux
A stop at the crossroads of several adventures.
Long-distance journey, urban ride or a day among the vines: choose your direction and keep Les Pénates as your base.
La Scandibérique
The route crosses Bordeaux before joining the Roger-Lapébie trail. The Créon–Bordeaux stage is 25 km; heading south, Bordeaux–Hostens is 53 km.
Canal des 2 Mers
From Gare Saint-Jean, follow the Garonne towards Latresne and the Roger-Lapébie trail. The official Bordeaux–Créon stage is about 23 km.
View the official stage ↗Join La Vélodyssée
Bordeaux sits slightly away from La Vélodyssée itself. The Bordeaux–Lacanau greenway connects with EuroVelo 1 in Lacanau, so we do not claim to be directly on its route.
Plan Bordeaux–Lacanau ↗Arcachon and the bay
Cycle to Gare Saint-Jean, then take the train to Arcachon for a day around the bay. Seasonal bicycle reservations may be compulsory: check the current rules.
Check regional train + bicycle conditions ↗The vineyards by bicycle
From Gare de Blanquefort, three loops of 9, 23 and 29 km explore the urban vineyards. For Saint-Émilion, combine a regional train to Libourne with the return journey by bicycle.
Bordeaux, simply
Parc Bordelais, the historic centre, Garonne quays, Darwin and Cité du Vin make an ideal pannier-free day. Build your loop with the Métropole’s official map.
Open the cycling map ↗At your pace
One night en route, a two-day pause or longer.
You do not have to choose between touring and exploring: stop for one night or keep the same room while discovering the region by bicycle and train.
Rest and set off again
Arrive late if needed, store your bicycle securely, use the repair kit and leave your cycling clothes with us. The next morning, you set off clean, rested and without a trip to the laundrette.
Take time for Bordeaux
Spend a day in the centre, along the quays and at Cité du Vin. On your return, enjoy the calm of the neighbourhood, garden and heated seasonal pool.
Explore without the panniers
Add a day on Arcachon Bay or in the Médoc and Saint-Émilion vineyards, combining bicycle and regional trains from Gare Saint-Jean.
