How To Get To Lengronne in Manche, North West France

From Cherbourg.

The easiest thing to remember is that the route to La Coquerie is the same as the route to Le Mont St. Michel – signed all the way on green boards, starting at the exit of the port. You leave the Le Mont St Michel signs at Coutances (point 6 below).

• 1. On leaving the port there is a large roundabout with a petrol station on the far left. This is the best place to fill up in Cherbourg (Auchun is usually marginally cheaper but complicated to find.)
• 2. At this first roundabout go straight over. The petrol station will be on your left. Follow the GREEN signposts for Le Mont St Michel.
• 3. Follow the green signs out of Cherbourg for “Le Mont St Michel”. This involves climbing a long hill (several kilometers) at the top of which there is a roundabout (right here for Auchun supermarket) where you will turn left onto the N13. Go approximately 20 kilometres and when you have just passed VALOGNES take the turning for Le Mont St Michel onto the D2 (signposted in green).
• 4. Stay on the D2 until Coutances, passing through the towns (or on their by passes) of St. Sauveur le Vicomte (nice castle the right, little roundabout, go straight over), La Haye-du-Puits (by-pass), Lessay and then to Coutances, always still following the green signposts for to Le Mont St Michel.
• 5. At Coutances follow the signs to Le Mont St Michel until you join a road with 3 (2 up and 1 down) lanes coming down a long hill.
• 6. At the bottom of the hill (various supermarkets and factories on the area) you leave the green Le Mont St Michel signs when you reach the roundabout, with a restaurant, L’Auberge du Viaduc, on the far side. Take second exit, on to the D7. The signpost will be for Gavray (15 kilometres). Go into the village of Lengronne.

From Caen

• 1. Follow the blue signs for the A13 and Autres Directions to the autoroute.
• 2. Once you reach the autoroute follow the signs for Rennes. You will take the periphique around Caen, still following signs for Rennes.
• 3. At Junction 9 you turn on to the A84/E401 which you stay on for approximately 50 minutes – 1 hour.
• 4. Come off the A84 at Exit 37, Granville and Gavray.
• 5. At the first roundabout take right turn signposted Le Mesnil Garnier, (D33).
• 6. Follow this road going through Le Mesnil Garnier. About 4-5 kms after Le Mesnil Garnier you will reach a small junction with a signpost saying Catte sur Cat – this junction is on a bend to the left (the sign taking you off the road is for Gavray – that right hand turn).
• 7. Follow the road down into Gavray. At the bottom on the hill there is sharp left hand bend follow immediatwel by a T-junction. Turn left, go 50 metres. Turn right and go through Gavray on the D7.
• 8. 2km beyond Gavray you will see La Coquerie signposted on the left hand side of the road, just before the village of Lengronne.

 From Le Havre

• 1 As you leave the port follow the signs for Toutes Directions.
• 2 Very shortly you will start to see signs for Paris and Rouen.
• 3 Near the end of the built up area of Le Havre you will start to signs for Caen. There are a number of changes of autoroute but always follow the signs for Caen.
• 4 Take the periphique sud around Caen, following signs for Rennes. Then follow instructions as from point 3 from Caen.
