The Eagle Eyed amongst you will have spotted that we didn't have a post for August! It's been a busy old Summer but we're back on it now.

Chunky wins the September award for hunting out all of those shady snoozing spots!

COL DU PORTILLON

Those of you who've ridden this famous Tour Climb will be pleased to hear that the top 3km have been Resurfaced!

This is the moment to kick off the rumour that the 2026 tour will use this road to connect the Grand Depart in Barcelona to France

We hinted weeks ago that Bathroom 5 (the Superbagneres Family Suite) had been renovated this Spring. Well here's a preview.

What do you think?

Have a look at all of it next time you're here.

Okay, Okay, not the Tour.

It's Aneto Trail Weekend here in Luchon!

Good luck to all of the participants - there are some incredible distances covered on foot - and thank-you to all of the organisers and volunteers who make events like this happen.

They'll be staying here on the 14th July & we're hoping to ride SuperB with them in the afternoon

If a straight donation isn't for you, there are fab Shooting Star Earrings by Milly Grace Jewellery to be bought in support too. They're really cool

See you soon

Hats off to Victoria for winning Mays Award.

Once the Winter Season was finished she donned her decorating pants and refurbished the bathroom in Room 5.

Photos to follow soon!

RETIREMENT

It's time for us to say a big au revoir and merci to our sign. A workhorse for over 10 years but the elements have battered it for long enough.

Many thanks to Benoît and to @samgilbey for the design.

Any ideas what we can do with the old sign?

Oops, late with this one. Soz! It's been busy since moving back from the UK

We're delighted to announce that Chunky won the Award this month for services to lurking around the garden & testing out new snoozing spots!

Well played mate
