Welcoming bike and car enthusiasts Les Ballastières is a 200-year old farmhouse, situated in the Nord Pas de Calais in the small village of Gauchin Verloingt, just outside St. Pol-sur-Ternoise. The English owners, Paul Thomas and Sue Fairbairn, have converted the old farmhands’ quarters and stables to offer a variety of accommodation to suit different budgets and needs, in a peaceful setting but within 5 minutes of the race track at Croix-en-Ternois.

“First in, last out”: Within easy reach from the ports of Calais, Boulogne and Dunkerque, Les Ballastières is the ideal stopping place whether on your way further into France (or neighbouring countries) or just before getting that ferry home.
