Caen/Le Harve

 

(From Le Harve use either the Pont de Normandie (A29) or Tancarville bridges (N182/N178 to join A13. Both bridges are free to bikes and exit using the seperate bike lane to right of Toll Booth. The A13 towards Caen is a toll road but not expensive. A useful tip is to have some €uros is a small plastic bag so that you can hand to attendant rather than have to remove gloves etc and search for change).

    

 We are between the villages of Colombiers du Plessis & Brece on the D504 South of Gorron. Look for yellow car signs  "Longueve" at the top of the hill. We are the farthest buildings at the bottom of the hill.

(Click on above maps to enlarge)


Approaching on the D33 around Gorron take the 2nd exit - straight on (signed Mayenne).


(If approaching from Ambrieres-les-Vallees TURN LEFT at the roundabout  - signed Mayenne).


... and continue to the next roundabout on the D5. TURN LEFT to Brece ...


... and after passing through the village TURN RIGHT at the small bridge onto D504 (signed Colombiers du-Plessis)


Go past the large house on the right ...


... to take the small lane on the right at the top of the rise. (Look for the white post and yellow 'Longueve' sign at beginning of track). Follow the  signs, we are the farthest building.
