| Grenoble |
On past trips to Corsica, the Club always stayed at the Hotel du Col de l'Arc in Lans-en-Vercors in the hills south west of Grenoble. Inevitably, everyone arrives on a high after the brilliant road up from Grenoble and what better than to cool off with a beer in the garden or a swim in the pool?

Small hotel just outside St.Omer - Le Relais du Romelaere is in the middle of the marches and is easy to find,just find the railway station in St-Omer and its 5 mins away.

Hotels / Places to Eat - Belgium
|
The Belvedere Hotel at Nadrin in the heart of the Ardennes region used to be an old hunting lodge and is a regular stopping place for PEMC groups. Great value for money and again great roads around!! |
|
If you are travelling on the A4 Autoroute or the N40 just north of Neufchateau and fancy some food, then turn off at exit 27 and head north on the N40 for a mile or so on the Route de Neufchateau. You will see "Le Chez Nous" (tel.: 061 22 36 32) on the left hand side, we found Jacques and his wife very hospitable and the food was absolutely great and good value. |
Hotels / Places to Eat - Germany

A hotel regularly used in the past by the PEMC is Hotel-Restaurant Johanniskreuz (site in German with music!) which is set in the middle of pine forests and has some wonderful biking roads leading to and from the hotel in all directions.

A hotel that none of the 16 members present on the "Visit to the Pilsen Brewery" trip in 1992 will forget, was the Schloss Thiergarten just ouside Bayreuth. It provided the group with fantastic accommodation with a splendid evening meal. The telephone number we have is +49 (0)9209 9840 E-Mail: schlosshotel-thiergarten@t-online.de |
| South |
The Alpengasthof Bad Rain Hotel (site in German) in Oberstaufen in Southern Germany close to the border with Austria provides an excellent base from which to tour around this beautiful area. And, if the hotel name has anything to do with the weather, then the comfort of the rooms, the indoor swimming pool and the food and drink provide alternative attractions to sightseeing! |
| West of Kassel |
A memorable stay was at the Hotel Schloss Waldeck during the infamous "Eight Knights in Castles" trip in 1993. Who of those on this trip will forget watching the tremendous firework display from the castle's parapets? |
Hotels / Places to Eat - Italy
|
If you are in the vicinity of Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Italian Dolomites then we can recommend a wonderful lakeside restaurant just to the north of Cortina: the Ristorante Lago Ghedina. |

The delightful Hotel Stella D'Italia in the Italian/Swiss border village of San Mamete with its terraces on the edge of Lake Lugano makes for a great base to ride around the lakes and mountains of Northern Italy and Switzerland. |
|
The Hotel la Valle in Cutigliano located in the hills of northern Tuscany, Italy turned out to be great 'value for money', being the cheapest accommodation by far on the Red Italy trip in '95. In addition, the food was typically Italian - great tasting and plenty of it!! |
Hotels / Places to Eat - Spain
|
The Hotel Mirador de la Franca proved to be very popular with members on the trip to Northern Spain and Portugal in '96 as it is literally on a magnificent large sandy beach. Being located within close proximity of the Picos de Europa and not far from Santander add to its attraction. |
|
If you are travelling to or from Spain via France, then the Hotel Rio Bidasoa in the walled frontier seaside town of Hondarribia in Northern Spain can be recommended. |
|
The Hotel del Oso at Cosgaya in the Picos de Europa mountains of Northern Spain is another PEMC favourite with good accommodation and food, it has fantastic views and more great 'biking roads close at hand!! |

The Pousada Sao Bento at Canicada in Northern Portugal has absolutely magnificent views across the Peneda-Geres National Park. Definitely worth a stay! |
