Accommodation Notes

Hôtel Le Bastide,
Rue de Marvejols,
48260 Nasbinals

As you come off the hillside into Nasbinals and reach the D900 road, on your right is an agricultural machinery showroom. Looking left at this point you will see Hotel Bastide some 500 yards up the road. I missed this and went into the centre of Nasbinals and to the Tourist Office near the Church. Hôtel Le Bastide is one of three businesses in Nasbinals owned by the same people; the part I was staying in was a lodge, rated 3*, which was quite nice and comfortable but a little outside of the town. In the town itself, behind the church, Hôtel Le Bastide have a 2* hotel above a restaurat(La Route d’Argent). This restaurant seems to be the centre of activity with pilgrims in the evening.

There is a really good shop next to the church selling food, drink and many hardware and sports goods items.
