Local Directions
Coming North from Saumur, take the D58 in Vernantes, by the Monument towards Mouliherne. Follow this road until you see the impressive gatehouse of the Chateau du Loroux, take the first right after this, opposite a farm named 'Plaisance'. Follow the lane for about a mile. You’ll see Le Chant d’Oiseau on your right-hand side.
Coming South (from Le Mans), take the D58 out of Mouliherne towards Vernantes. Take care to turn right at the fork just outside the village! Continue for some miles past a small hamlet named 'l'Oisellerie'. Soon, you'll see a small bus-stop and a wooden cross on your right. This is the crossroads known as 'Croix Justicion', turn left here, past a small cottage (It's signposted for Le Chant d'Oiseau). Take your next right (again signposted). Pass a few farms on your left and right. In around 2 miles, you'll see Le Chant on your left hand side! If you miss this turn, continue for a couple of km's, and turn left opposite 'Plaisance', and we're then on your right after a mile or so!

I love driving in France. I got from Calais to your door with nothing more to aid me than your directions and the handy road signs that are at every junction
