To find us enter BURES 61170 or BURES ORNE in GPS sat nav. This will take you to centre of our village by the church and we are just 5 metres from the church (dont worry - the bells dont ring out) facing the Mairie (town hall). If you are coming down the A28 autoroute from Rouen (Calais Boulogne) DO NOT exit at the Gace junction, which the GPS SAT NAV always indicates but continue to the Sees junction, and follow signs for Mortagne au Perche or Bazoches It is faster and easier. From the autoroute motorway at Sees it is only 11 or 12 miles, and since Feb 2011 a new connecting road bypasses Sees making it even easier- although not always on your old GPS
