Getting Here

Satnav to Brossac, Chez Sarrazin

GPS - 45°19'39.3"N 0°01'26.3"W

THERE IS MORE THAN ONE HOUSE CALLED CHEZ SARRAZIN IN THE AREA.  MAKE SURE THAT YOUR END DESTINATION IS 1.5 MILES EAST OF BROSSAC IN YOUR SATNAV SYSTEM.

NEVER SATNAV TO A FRENCH POSTCODE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC ADDRESS BECAUSE - UNLIKE OTHER NATIONS' SYSTEMS - A FRENCH POSTCODE COVERS A VERY LARGE AREA.

DO NOT USE GOOGLEMAPS AS MANY LOCAL ROADS ARE NOT SHOWN CORRECTLY AND SOME LOCAL DIRT TRACKS APPEAR AS ROADS!!!
