At Paris follow signs for Bordeaux and Nantes and go onto the A71 towards Bordeaux and Nantes.

At the roundabout take the exit towards La Bourboule-Le Mont Dore.
After the railway track go straight until the T-junction, go right (D922) and from now on continue to follow the sign to Le Mont-Dore.
In Le Mont-Dore go straight until you have to turn right into Avenue Wilson (obligatory driving direction).
Go left, along Place Charles de Gaulle, with the post-office at your right hand side and a church at your left.
Go left again, between the church and the Spar mini-market.

This is the Avenue de Général Leclerc which becomes the Avenue de Clermont. You will find Les Camélias at your right hand on number 6 Avenue de Clermont.

Please take into account the following when using a route planner or navigation system. As town, use 'Mont-Dore'. 'Le Mont-Dore' is not always recognised. You can also use the postal code 63240. Our street name is 'avenue de Clermont'. Some systems replace this automatically by 'route de Clermont', which is fine.

Some navigation systems try to send drivers - just before Le Mont-Dore - onto a narrow, dead end road. This should absolutely not be done.
