We recommend that you travel to France via the Western Channel ferry crossings. St Simon de Pellouaille is just under five hours drive from the ferry port at St Malo, and about seven hours (allowing for breaks in your journey) from Caen and Cherbourg, all ports served by Brittany Ferries.
From the ferry ports head for Rennes and then take the road to Nantes. From Nantes, where you cross the Loire on the spectacular Pont de Cheviré follow the signs to Bordeaux. This will bring you on to the A89 motorway, which joins the A10 motorway at Niort. Continue following the signs to Bordeaux. Leave the A10 at Pons (junction 36). Motorway tolls are about £10. We will provide you with detailed directions from Pons to St Simon with your booking confirmation.
If you are crossing the Channel to Calais, you can now bypass Paris. Take the A16 south past Boulogne to Abbeville, then join the A28 to Tours via Rouen and Le Mans. At Tours join the A10 and follow the signs to Bordeaux, leaving at Pons (junction 36).
