Been to stay with Martin several times over the years, you couldn't
want a more congenial host. Even runs you to the hospital when you need
it and stays with you to take the mickey. Fantastic location, good
secure garage for the bikes, brilliant roads, always beers in the fridge
and some good places to eat. Highly recommended.

I have been coming down to Maison St Georges nearly every year since
my first visit in 1999 for one of Martin's tours. Coursan is a great
little town with a friendly atmosphere. It is an ideal location for
exploring the Languedoc, Pyrenees and
Northern Spain and the beach and nice countryside are only a
matter of minutes away. For me one of the pleasures of any trip is
turning into Rue Victor Hugo and seeing Maison St georges again. Martin
and Laurence are a great people and can always give you ideas for where
to go and what to see including nice roads and the best local places to
eat - the sort of detail you won't find in your "Rough Guide". Martin is
also very knowledgeable about the history of the area. One of the best
things about Maison St Georges is just "hanging out" before or after the
day's trip and talking bikes and travelling with other guests (often
regulars themselves). On a practical note there is a really good guy in
Narbonne if you want a new tyre or some repair done -just ask Martin!

Made to feel most welcome, and a never ending supply of cold beer
waiting after a long days riding. (thank you for the tour Martin, but
I'd keep your sheepskin seat cover away from Mike in future!!!!)
Rooms are clean and tidy with adequate facilities, including an
amazing breakfast comprising everything you could ask for. Can't wait to
do the trip again just so we can come back to see you.

Really enjoyed my stay in Coursan, perfect base for exploring
southern France. Short blast into Spain, plenty of hot grippy tarmac and
cops who will not nick you the instant they hear a race can ! Martin is
an excellent host,with endless information about the local area, and
beyond. Top bloke, top weather, top roads, highly recommended.

We travelled from Ipswich to Martin in one go, 825 miles and when we
arrive we always get a fantastic welcome,he is a real character!.
Situated in a very nice part of France and within easy reach of Pyrennes.
Valencia GP only 400 miles on, Jerez 800 miles on. The whole area is
brilliant to ride around. Been staying at Martins over eight years now,
where else do you get a vintage motorbike in the hall way!

Maison-st-georges is a great place to stay. the owner makes you very
welcome, with a cold beer in the fridge for when you arrive, its well
placed for the local area & lots to see & do.
The beach is a short ride (20 min) nearby for the sun lovers.
The Montagne noire are about 40 min away with great roads to play on
such as the N112 Puisserguier to st-Pons which has it all fast in places
slow in others but awesome bends at the same time! with very little
police about just watch the speed in the towns & villages, when you get
to st-Pons you can have a good lunch in the middle of town, then back to
Narbonne on the D907 a tighter road but not so many cars, again great
bends & viwes. but do both roads twice once for the views then go &
play. This is our 5th year at maison-st-georges & I can not recommend it
enough.

What a place! GREAT accommodations, garage, patio, BBQ, house with
vintage bikes and a rare vintage host that has put it all together room
by room with his own hands! A real labour of love produced by a real
motorcycle enthusiast (and damn fast rider
too!) for we weary bikers.
When I wasn't riding some of the best roads southern France has to
offer, there were always some interesting guests to chat with, in
English mind you! Last time through I tossed back some beers with the
Head Scrutineer for the Isle of Mann, what a treat.
Shiny side up Martin!

Excellent location for truly amazing ride outs! Hospitality from
Martin and Laurence was brilliant, even providing strong coffee after
heavy nights out with the locals! Strong recommendation on all fronts.
Thanks again!!
