How to Get Here
Our houses are easily reached by car or by air.
By Car
Our houses are about 4 hours’ drive from St Malo, 5 hours from Le Havre or 7 hours from Calais. The motorway brings you into Charente Maritime is the A10
The best route from Calais is via Boulogne, Rouen, Le Mans and Tours – simply follow the signs and you can’t go wrong. It’s the motorway all the way (apart from going around Rouen) and brand new roads make the drive a pleasure and quicker than the route via Paris.
Directions:
From North (A10): Take exit 36 off the A10 (signed Pons) and follow the road to Gemozac (D732).
If you arrive by air from Bordeaux, the directions are as follows:
From South (A10): Take exit 36 off the A10, which is sign posted Pons and follow the directions above.
If you arrive by air from La Rochelle take the dual carriageway (N237) to Rochefort where you have a choice of the quicker motorway route via the A837 and A10 to Pons as above or the shorter cross country route (initially signposted to Royan) via Le Gua and Saujon.
