How to get here

When travelling to Maison Taupe by car or motorcycle, please be aware that France is a big country and we are not 'just around the corner'! We are around 440 miles/7hrs from Calais and about 370 miles/6hrs from Le Havre. It is possible to travel to us in a day from northern France or even southern parts of the UK. Many of our guests have done so with no problems, but one or two of our less experienced guests have been caught out by the distance, so if you are not used to driving/riding for more than a couple of hundred miles in one day, it may be worth considering an overnight stop en-route? If you would like us to email you a route which has been tried and tested please contact us.
