Directions and Travel

 

Clients can arrive any time after 16:00 on Saturday, and are asked to vacate the site before 10:00 on the day of departure. If you are going to arrive after 18:00 please call in advance to let us know.

 

It is a legal requirement when driving in France to have the following items in your vehicle ; First AId Kit, Warning Triangle, Hi-Vis Vests, Spare Bulbs, Fire Extinguisher.

 

The Retreat is situated in the eastern corner of the Charente countryside in South West France, near to the Haute-Vienne border, situated between the three towns of Bellac, Confolens and St. Junien.

 

Driving time is approximately 4.5 hours from Caen, 5 hours Le Havre/St.Malo, and 8 hours from Calais/Boulogne.

 

Although the cheapest crossings are from Dover, it is well worth considering the overnight crossing (with a cabin) from Newhaven to Dieppe with LD Lines which is a cheaper option, or a crossing with Brittany Ferries to Caen. This reduces the overall driving time in the UK for many people, and cuts costs on fuel and tolls on this side of the channel.. Having slept on the ferry you will be less tired for the shorter drive in France and can arrive feeling ready to enjoy your holiday !

 

Best driving route from Calais/Boulogne follows Rouen/Le Mans/Tours/Poitiers avoiding Paris !

 

From Caen/Le Havre follow Le Mans etc.The exact location of the lake and a full set of directions will be posted to you after you have made your booking.
