Directions
Please follow the travel directions from Centre ville to cathédrale St.Pierre, and then to Mairie. When you reach Mairie, keep it on your left and proceed up rue Maurice Martineau. At the end of the street, you must make a right turn, despite the interdiction sign that allows only residents (riverain) to do so. However, your reservation grants you the legal right to make that turn.
