By Road:

Use the map at the top of the page to find your preferred route; it's pre-set to take you the fastest and easiest way from Calais, but you can change this.

The journey from Calais is about 1,000 kilometres of autoroutes, plus 30 kilometres of country roads. You set the cruise control and go to sleep! If you really go for it, you can do it in under 9 hours (plus stops). If you take it easy, it's nearer 10 hours..

If you want to make it a two-day journey, we strongly recommend a B&B just two minutes off the A10 Autoroute at Celon, almost exactly half-way between Calais and the Domaine. Le Canard au Parapluie Rouge is run by a delightful Anglo-American couple who offer a really warm welcome, a first class dinner and an excellent French breakfast.  Click here to go to their website. 

 

  Please note that most SatNavs and computerised route-finding programmes will take you to Pech Luna, but that's not where you want to go!  Click here to find out how to avoid  Pech Luna, or how to escape when you do accidentally get there. We do strongly recommend that you print out this page and take it with you.
