Bardigues

[Glenshiro]

Does anyone have recent experience of accommodation in Bardigues? I am planning next year's walk (already!) from Moissac to Aire sur l'Adour and would like to spend the first night there. However, an email to the only known CH, run by Sophie Tute, had a reply to the effect that she was not available (in June 2015)

I know Auvillar is popular, but I'd like to go a bit further on my first day. Thanks.

My Gites France comes up with Le Chambre du Jardin, a 4 star rated Clevacances Chambre d'hôtes that looks divine at €110 to €135 per night..... with swimming pool, dancing maidens and string quartet (well, perhaps not). According to the site map it is in Bardigues. Too rich for me but if you are interested (or can share the cost) here's the website

Thanks, Kanga, I'm sure my wife would love it! However, I'm looking for somewhere a tad more modest.

About 30km from Moissac:

I suppose it doesn't help a lot to tell you to change your plans, but if there's one day you might consider walking further than your normal stretch, this it it. Saint-Antoine may be more kms away from Moissac than you'd like to walk, but the first hours along the canal (if you go that way) are the easiest of your entire trek, and the terrain from Auvillar to Saint-Antoine is not at all challenging.

Thanks to you both - I may well consider walking on to St Antoine, there just doesn't seem to be any accommodation in Bardigues, and it's easily within my limits. On the other hand, Auvillar looks like a nicer place to spend the night. Any opinions?

Auvillar.

I stayed in 2009 in Bardigues in a Chambre d'hotes, Mme Tute, an English woman, sophietute@hotmail.com.uk ( 05-63-39-60-30), it is still in the Miam Dodo guide, open all the year. Had a big room with seperate entrance and she brought me breakfast in the morning. In the evening she cooked me a meal, which I was served in her kitchen.

Unfortuately, she no longer seems to be operating (see my original post.)

She is not listed in the 2014 MMDI.

When walking the first time I stayed in Auvillar. Nice little place. The second time we'd been joined at Moissec by two couples, friends who'd never walked before. As a gentle start we only went as far as Jenny Smithers (Chambre et table d'hotes de Pugnal) before Boudou.....
Really beautiful place, nice people. I know not relevant to the OP but maybe others who want a gentle start.

Thanks to all who have chipped in on this. The result seems to be that there is no accommodation in Bardigues, so I think I'll spend the first night in Auvillar - too nice a place to just stroll through. However, reading other posts has enabled me to choose what will be (I hope) some better overnight stops than I first thought off - so thanks to everyone who posts.

Bon chemin et bon courage.

Start late morning in Auvillar and have lunch in Bardigues , it comes very highly recommended.
It is not open on mondays.
This could allow just accommodation in Lectoure and not Demi Pension.
or
Why not write to the restr.in Bardigues and ask if there is accommodation in this very small hamlet.

Auvillar was a nice little place....one of the 100 beaux villages, as I recall.
We stayed at a less interesting but excellent Chambre d'Hote. Once again, stretching my memory, I think it was the village with the cat sculptures all around in windows and buildings, along with the full size tiny-headed-obese-people sculptures that we first saw in Moissac outside the Abbey.

Do you remember the name of the Chamber d'Hote? We are doing the walk next April and I am trying to put together a list of recommended Chambre d'Hote , hotels and other private lodgings. We are also interested in the Gite's with private rooms if anybody has a list it would be most appreciated. I have a copy of MMDD and when I do get a recommending I mark it in the guide book.

Thanks Falcon, it does look like a very nice hotel but I was looking for something more befitting a Pilgrims budget.
