Hi, we are new to this site and hope someone could advise us! We are about  to book a couple of weeks camping 35k from montpellier next august. Does anyone have any suggestions for an overnight stop over on the way own and way back? Ideally we would like to rent accomodation instead of pitch a tent, but have our trailer and bikes which need to be kept safe. Any suggestions?

Thanks in anticipation of some help.....

Hi thanks very much for your  replies - I will have a good look. We have a pop up 4 man tent which we used last year as our overnight stop: thunder, lightening and two grumpy young children made for an awful night and bad second days driving, but agree somehow you feel safer when your kit is next to your tent. Thanks again.

Me and the wife stayed at a B&B hotel and another hotel on the way back from Millau in August.Both of the hotels had gated and locked car parks.I left my motorcycle and camping trailer loaded on both occasions and even left the tent strapped to the back of the bike,never had any issues at all.

If anyone is going this way I can personally highly recommend:

situated roughly halfway between Vierzon and Clermont Ferrand, about 10 minutes from the Autoroute.

Its a smallholding in open countryside about 1km from the small village of Morlac.  Very remote so should be no security problems.  Dominique and Marie-Christine who run the business speak good English and are two of the nicest people you can ever meet.  When we stayed there in June it cost 90€ per night for the two of us b & b and an excellent very French evening meal, complete with a very good local wine.  There were also aperitifs with the host and hostess outside in the grounds before the meal.
