Whether you arrived in France at Caen, Cherbourg or St. Malo, the instructions are the same. Use your roadmap to get onto the A84, and head for Junction 32, Signposted St. James.
Those of you travelling southwards from Caen or Cherbourg are advised that you may be confused by the road numbers at Avranches. As you approach Avranches on the A84 the road number changes to the N175 and then a few miles later changes back to the A84. – DO NOT LEAVE THE MOTORWAY – continue heading in the direction of Rennes until you reach Junction 32. You are now about 15 minutes away.
1. Leave A84 at Junction 32 sign posted for St. James, and continue through several roundabouts following signs for D30 - St. James and Louvigne du Desert
2. You will pass the St James’ place name and you continue on this road
3. Shortly after that you should pass a grey tower and a quaint old house on the left, and a short distance after that there is a set of traffic lights. Turn right at the lights and then almost immediate left following signs for St. Hillaire and the American War Cemetery,
4. As you wind through St. James you pass the church to your left and the road follows the old town walls (still to your left) downwards, and then a sharp hairpin bend to the right.
5. At the bottom of the hill you will pass the town sign as you leave St. James. The road bends to the left as you start to climb, and after 500 yards turn right – just after the Bar/Tabac – D230 sign posted for St. George de Reintembault, Louvigne du Dessert and the American War Cemetery
6. You will pass the American War Cemetery at the top of the hill. The hedges are very neat and there is a main gate with small car parking area by the side of the road
7. You now have a scenic drive through the countryside for about 3 miles
8. SLOW DOWN, as the next few instructions happen quickly
9. As you enter St. George de Reintembault and approach the centre you will pass ‘La Muscade’ a restaurant on your left with a small car park at the front
10. After 250 yards is a left turn – almost blind – signed St. Martin de L. (Vets on the corner). If you miss this turning you will pass a Renault Garage on your right and a large sign for Champion supermarket – You’ve gone too far, but there is a place to turn round just after the garage on the right hand side.
11. Drive for about 2 miles through the countryside, and past a few farms and houses – you’re almost there!
12. You will see a group of farm buildings with corrugated rooves on the right – immediately in front of you is a big stone cross beyond which is a big red roof – ours!
13. Take the narrow track to the left of the cross, and our entrance is the second on the right behind the tall hedge
14. You’ve made it – WELCOME!
