Directions
Well situated for motorway links – A10 to the west (direction Bordeaux) and A20 to the east (direction Toulouse)

From all the main ports on the northern coast of France, head for TOURS.

On the outskirts of Loches, follow the signs for Chateauroux (N143/D943 again) & Chatillon, go through the village of Perrusson and travel about 500 metres taking the right turn (D41) signposted Verneuil-sur-Indre & St Flovier. Go through Verneuil and on to St Flovier – take care here as it is easy to miss the signs for Obterre (6kms away) - head out of the village (on D21) and after 400 metres turn right on to the D14 for Obterre - we are on the outskirts before entering the village, on the left hand side (look out for our ‘roofed’ sign) opposite a wood yard.
