Directions to
La Ferme de Florent
from Geneva
From Geneva airport follow
the green motorway signs for France (motorway signs are blue in France and green
in Switzerland) along a dual carriageway.
At the 6th (approximately)
set of lights turn left - signposted to France, Lousanne and Geneva centre
Very soon (50 yards) after
these lights there is a right hand turn signposted to France, Geneva, La Pralle
(E25)
Continue along this road
through several tunnels including the Vernier and Chevres tunnel
When the road divides stay
in the left hand lane for France. If in doubt follow signs for France and Annecy
until youare through the border control
When you come to the
Swiss/ France border if you have a hire car you can simply drive through. If you
are in your own car they may want to check your travel documents.
After the border control
take the left hand lane for the A40 to Annemasse, but DO NOT come off the
motorway at Annemasse.
Come off the A40 at
Bonneville (toll e1.60) follow signs for Le Grand Bornand, Petit Bornand and La
Cluzas. Routes through Bonneville vary but these places are always signposted
and you will go through St Pierre D'Aucigny.
At the T junction in St
Pierre D'Aucigny turn left and at the next turn right, whatever you do keep
following the signs to Le Grand Bornand, Petit Bornand and La Cluzas.
You will follow a windy
road up hill through Saxias, Petit Bornand and Entrement.
At the next T junction
turn left for Le Grand Bornand (NOT La Cluzas)
Follow this road into Le
Grand Bornand and at the first roundabout turn left for Chinaillon
When you reach the village
of Chinaillon continue until you meet the one way system, this will make you
turn right off the high street.
Follow the road past the
ski lifts on your right, our chalet is now in front of you at the top of
this road on a hill.
After the shops the road
turns left, just before this take the small road on your right as if you are
going straight on. Follow this roadas it curves to the right.
At the fork take the right
hand fork, we are a couple of hundred yards down here, directly opposite Le
Solaret restaurant.
Parking is on the right of
our chalet. The door in to the ski room is on the ground floor nearest you,
leave your bags there and come up to the lounge on the top floor. We should be
there!
Please note the route through Bonneville and St Pierre D'Aucigny is changed
fairly regularly but follow the signs and if in doubt, ring us or ask a passer
by for Grand Bornand.
