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.
