Getting to the Ancienne Poste

L’Ancienne Poste de Nouans
26, rue Jehan Fouquet
37460 Nouans-les-Fontaines
France

The property is reached by a very (very) small lane, near the bus stop:

• If you are coming from Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher: the lane is on the right, just after the road to Orbigny (also on the right). If you reach the Route des Dames de Touraine, you have driven past the house and gone too far.
• If you are coming from Châtillon-sur-Indre, Montrésor, etc., after driving through the centre of Nouans: the lane is on the left after the Route des Dames de Touraine, just before the road to Orbigny.

During your stay

Please be considerate of the neighbours:

• no music played outside the buildings;
• avoid excessive noise and any other nuisance, especially in the evening.

Recycling

Please sort your waste for recycling.

Before you leave, please remember

• to empty the dishwasher;
• to put back any furniture you moved;
• to tidy away the toys;
• to switch off all the lights;
• to empty the ordinary bins: the containers are next to the kitchen entrance of the Grande Dépendance;
• to take the glass to the recycling point: it is on the road on the left towards Loché-sur-Indrois, after the shops (your manager will explain);
• to take your chargers: we often find them left behind!
• to walk round the grounds and pick up any mess, if you came with a dog.
