In 2002, I came across Castelnaud in the Céou Valley, and I knew this would be a great place to rent out a bunch of bikes. I started slowly with only 10 bikes and a nice van, re-investing every year to build the business up. After 15 years, and several letters of encouragement to the Mairie, local wisdom saw fit to change the status of the valley road into a 'Voie Verte' (Cycle Path in English) and this provided a great boost to Castelnaud and to the villages south of the Dordogne . Bike Bus is now the biggest and loveliest bike rental in the Dordogne, and I'm pleased that we remain as supple and approachable as we were at the start. We now have over 250 snazzy bikes and accessories for adults and children, route cards for all our circuits and we are open everyday, all year round from 09h00 to 19h00. Due to the high demand though, to save disappointment and time at the shop, it is advisable (and cheaper) to reserve and prepay online.
Joel is a very easy going guy. He is easy to reach by phone or e-mail. More importantly the bikes are in great condition, suitable for the terrain and rented out at a fair price. I had no issues at all, picked up the bike and immediately rode off for a ride. Joel knows the area very well and can advise you on great routes to ride. There are also suggested routes on his website, soon one I made will be added :)

Built in 1489, the stunning Chateau des Milandes in the heart of the Black Perigord on the south bank of the Dordogne became home to the black American singer and dancer Josephine Baker in 1947. Baker had become the toast of the Parisian cabaret scene in the ‘20s, being one of the most famous and highly paid entertainers of her day. A French citizen by marriage, during World War II, her status as an international star also enabled her to work covertly for the French Resistance, for which she received the Croix de Guerre. The castle is dedicated to Josephine Baker. In the grounds, bird of prey display with eagle owl and eagle; the garden is a lovely place. Brasserie is open april to first november.
This chateau is beautiful. Just seeing it, and the grounds, and eating at the cafe is an enchanting and memorable experience. We toured the castle, but photos are forbidden and there are signs everywhere to remind you. So call me shallow, but I loved the gift shop and was able to find some really neat things for my grandchildren, unusual, lovely and well priced. There is a falconry exhibit throughout the day, There are self guided vox boxes that you are given, and places to hang them when you are about to leave.
