A rider-friendly farmhouse on the Charente-Dordogne border with secure parking, workshop facilities, comfortable accommodation and some of the best roads in France right on your doorstep.
Stay for a night on your way to Spain or Portugal or make us your base for a week of unforgettable riding, great food, great company and memorable experiences.
Stay 1 night or 10.
Ride as much as you like.
Explore as much as you want.
The roads bring riders here.
The Fatfully Experience brings them back.
Whether you’re solo, two-up, or rolling in with a group – Motorbike France is designed around you. Up to 10 guests, across 6 suites in the farmhouse.
“Unpack properly. Stand the bike up. Dry your kit. Then choose your pace.”
Perfectly positioned just outside Bordeaux on the routes south to Spain and Portugal. Stay two or three nights, reset properly, service anything that needs it, and roll out better than you arrived. No unnecessary costs. No surprises on the bill.
Bring four bikes minimum, build a small crew, and come for a week. We’ll take care of the routes, the local knowledge, and the logistics. You just ride.
What’s on the doorstep:
No motorways. No overthinking. Just proper riding and local knowledge from people who actually ride here.
More riders are choosing quality over distance. Instead of chasing mileage, they’re building small groups and creating real experiences. Motorbike France is built for that shift.
This isn’t camping by the roadside. It’s not another anonymous roadside hotel. It’s a fully restored 300-year-old French farmhouse with spa facilities, character, and soul.
“Ride hard. Reset properly. Then roll out better than you arrived.”
Part of the Fat Fully Adventure Lifestyle.
Motorbike France shares a home with two sister experiences — Paramotor France and Wellbeing France. All three are built around the same farmhouse, the same philosophy, and the same standard of hosting: small groups, real experiences, and genuine care for the people who come here.
Whether you’re here for the roads, the sky, or simply to switch off; this is the base.
Solo, two-up, or a full group. Two nights or a full week. Tell us who’s coming and we’ll sort the rest.
Your Private Spa ... Exclusively Yours. Unwind in your own private wellness sanctuary ... available anytime, without sharing.
Select from a wide range of activites, from cycling to kayaking, caving to go-karting... And much much more!
We can sleep up to 10 people in 6 suites in our lovingly restored riverside farmhouse.
Whether you’re self-catering like a hero, BBQ-ing, doing lazy picnics by the river, or going full “someone else cook, please” (private chef / catered evenings on request), this corner of Charente–Périgord is basically built for good food and long, happy dinners. Think: local cafés and friendly bars, proper bistro plates, and a few seriously special tables when you fancy dressing up (or at least pretending you did).
We’re not just here to help you unwind, we value the friendships, experiences and time we get to spend with all our visitors.
John spent over 15 years in the superyacht and offshore world as a captain before stepping away to build something real, something grounded, hands-on, and experience-driven.
Fifteen years of restoring a 300-year-old farmhouse later, that vision became Motorbike France.
He understands logistics. He understands riders. He understands what it means to arrive somewhere tired and just want things to work, without drama, without fuss, without excuses.
He rides himself. There are bikes at the house. If something goes wrong on the road, there’s knowledge, tools, and solutions here. This isn’t a corporate chain where you email a help desk. It’s personal.
Groups from 4 people. Riders, partners, families, schools - all welcome. Tell us who's coming, and we'll build the week around you. Don't be afraid to call me on +447534999223.
