Calais

 

The Dover - Calais crossing by either ferry or tunnel is a popular one, but we offer no directions or maps as the route can vary depending on choice.

By a direct route the distance is approx 300 miles to Gorron and many choose to stay overnight in Calais. A recommended stop over from a past guest is the Hotel Du Golf and more details can be found on the following website.

Upon reaching Gorron use the directions below.

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.
