Thank you for choosing to stay at La Savonnière. Below are very detailed instructions on how to get to our home. They have been tested by others and we are told that they work well. We hope that they work well for you as well.
We have made arrangements for you to be met by our property manager (Verna Auerbach 05 62 98 23 53) who will give you the key and walk you through the house. Check-in time is 5 PM. Please coordinate with Verna on your arrival time if it will be different than 5 PM. (Note: We also ask that you try to leave the premises by 10AM to help our cleaning staff prep for the next set of guests.)
Suggestion: On the way to La Savonnière, you may want to stop off at one of the larger grocery stores near us to get an initial stock of foodstuffs if you haven't already done that. The local Épicerie in Esparros closes at 14:30. There is an InterMarche servicing Exit 15 & a Champion servicing Exit 16. They are conveniently located about 5 minutes driving time after you get off the highway. In both cases head in the opposite direction (from the directions given below) toward Lannemezan for about 5 minutes if you want to go to either of these two large grocery stores.
If you have any questions, please contact Verna at: verna.auerbach@wanadoo.fr or +33 5 62 98 23 53.
Enjoy your stay at La Savonnière.
