The house is in the Southern Touraine area of the Val de Loire. Here you have the benefit of being close enough to the major chateau of the area but without the hoards of tourists. You are also able to appreciate some of the delights of the
La Brenne Natural Park and the neighbouring department of
the Vienne.

Coming from Paris/ Tours take the A10 Poitiers/Bordeaux -- leave auto-route at junction 25 for Saint-Maure-de-Touraine, at the first roundabout you take the direction for Loches, though only until next roundabout (short distance),then at this roundabout for D910 --the exit you follow is marked for 'Descartes', the next change of direction is not until you come to the next roundabout at La Celle- Saint-Avant go off to the left again marked for 'Descartes' continue until you reach the first roundabout at the entrance to town (to think not so long ago they didn’t have roundabouts here!) -don't take the first road off but
continue following signs for Le Blanc and Le Grand Pressigny—third roundabout takes you into other end of town – ( if you need supermarket it is just off 2nd - closed 12.30 ‘til 2.30 ) couple of awkward junctions to get through in the town - not obvious who has right of way, so take care!, then continue on for Le Blanc and Le Grand Pressigny
back
on the D750. Continue on this road until you arrive in Barrou. Once you arrive in Barrou you will pass the
service station and road to Le Grande Pressigny on your
left, the house is the second set of gates on the left
after this. There is parking in the courtyard for
unloading plus safe riverside parking 100 mtrs on your
right.
Remember you will need euros or 'chipped' credit card for toll at J25.
