8 of us are heading down to the Black Forest in May and are planning to stay in Verdun en route on the first night,
Has anyone got any recommendations on where to stay??
:beerjug:
 
We stayed in the Le Coq Hardi.
Just had to be done, and was a nice hotel.
Don't think it had bike parking but they let us park right outside the door.
 
We stayed in Les Jardins Du Mess, by the river with secure parking. Bit pricey, but lovely place.
 
Surely if your only going from Kent to the Black Forest you'll do it in 1 day ?
 
If you are going to vist Verdun Ossuary, the last time we where there, posters where warning about break inns and thefts from vehicles

depends what time you are crossing - my group usually converges on the tunnel late afternoon and looks to stay in somewhere like St Omer or Bruges on the first night
 
I already have this booked but wondered if anyone could suggest better.....

The Cheval Rouge in St Menehould, might do you? It’s a family run Logis hotel, plenty of rooms. Park on the street outside. Used it lots of time. They have a brasserie restaurant (I’d reserve a slot if there are eight of you) or try the place that used to be the cinema over the square opposite.

There are eight of you, that might (depending on the sleeping arrangements) limit your choices. For example, if someone recommends hotel XYZ for a night but they have only three rooms and two of your party demand double rooms for single occupancy, with a tip-top restataurant and set in a town (or open countryside) you are stuffed.

Come on, there are eight of you. What are the other seven doing? Can you not, between the lot of you, find a hotel that caters for your needs, if it’s not to be the Coq Hardi?

You’ve decided that Verdun is to be your overnight stop. Why? Use the same thought process to find your group a hotel. Failing that, try the Ibis Budget, Verdun. It’s no.1 in the 10 best hotels in Verdun, according to TripAdvisor. If that’s too downmarket, look down the list a bit but, if it ticks all the boxes, job done.

PS There is also a Formula1 in Verdun. Many bikermates love them as they are - to use the vernacular - well cheap, mate so more money to spend on fuel and piss. Seven out of your party of eight might well fit into that category. Who knows?

PPS You found your - maybe obscure - apartment rental in Honfleur for five of you. Can you use the same process for Verdun?
 
Hotel les Colombes in Verdun. Bit basic, but clean and cheap, with an underground garage and easy walk to the river and centre.
 
just to add to wappings post if you can not get eight of you in one place, there is a B&B next to the F1 and also eateries close by,

Thanks for that !

PS Coq-Hadri is permanently closed.

PPS The obscure apartment in Honfleur is worth a visit
