Directions

From Calais Two options – A26 then A1 to Paris – or – A16 to Paris or Rouen

A 26 to Arras, join A 1 south to Charles de Gaulle airport (north Paris).  Take the right fork A 3 to the Peripherique east, following signs to Bordeaux keeping in the left hand lane all the way (we prefer the peripherique to the A86 so give the first fork to Bordeaux a  miss it can get very busy).

Round the south east peripherique interieur (2 o’clock to 7 o’clock) to Porte d’Italie

A 6b.   Following signs to Bordeaux and keep to the right hand lanes, south to the A 10 (there are lots of left forks to avoid).   Follow A 10 south west direction Bordeaux, to Orleans, right fork towards Tours to Blois junction.

Exit Blois, follow signs to Limoges bis - this takes you across the Loire.

Take right turn and follow along the south bank of the Loire to roundabout the other side of Blois, then turn south sign posted to Montrichard.

Continue to Montrichard, cross the bridge in the middle of the town to join the N76 west (towards Tours), continue to the St Georges junction and turn left, then right.   Drive through the village past the Vrigny sign and turn left after the bridge and opposite the bus shelter, this is Route des Couldraies.   We are up the hill on the left, number 13.   If lost ask in St Georges.

A16 via Boulogne is quite a nice ride, much quieter road, only two service stations en route, you arrive via the N1 and A1 to Porte la Chapelle, then take Peripherique Interieur east.  You can also follow the A16 into Rouen and take the dual carriageway route to Le Mans and then through Tours as below )

From Caen / Tours

N 158 south to Sees, join N 138  south to Alençon and Le Mans through to Tours.

In Tours follow N 76 Vierzon east, through Bléré, and on past the Chenonceaux turning.   The St. Goerges turning is a right fork about 1/4 mile past the Restaurant Relais des Chateaux.

Past the Restaurant on the right (Relais des Chateaux), next fork right takes you into the village towards St Georges.   Turn right opposite the garden centre, a tiny road (take the second just before the bridge opposite the bus shelter if you miss the first), right again into Routes des Couldraies and up the hill, the cottages are on the left, number 13.

If you lose the key or need anything, please contact Mme Aubin in Faverolles (map enclosed) or in an emergency Jacques Lacour at 3 Routes des Couldraies (second house on the left coming up the hill) will help.
