As you approach AZAY LE RIDEAU, you'll come across a large roundabout with a Carrefour supermarket on the left. At this roundabout, follow the signs for Azay center and continue straight. Cross the center and the Indre river, and after about 500 meters, you'll enter "La Chapelle Saint Blaise," which is actually the main part of Cheillé. Once you're there, take a right onto the D17 heading west towards Cheillé - église and Rivarennes. After driving for approximately 2 kilometers, you'll see a sign indicating "chambres dhôtes Le Vaujoint, Les Ecureuils, and la grange bleu." Take a left turn and start going up the hill. Please note that there are gîtes on the left, but don't stop there. Keep driving for another 200 meters. The Ecureuils is located at the corner where two roads intersect in the hamlet. The parking area is on the right side of the house.
