How to get to our house

To visit "Mon Desir", our house in Inxent in the Nord Pas de Calais, the only realistic way is by car. Once in France it is very easy to find .

The route to our house is via Dover if crossing by boat or Folkstone if using the Channel Tunnel.

From Dover, our favorite carrier is Speedferries because they travel to Boulogne which is only half an hour away from where we live and they do some of the cheapest crossings.

If you use one of the other ferry companies, P&O and SeaFrance dock in Calais whilst Norfolk Line lands in Dunkerque.

Dunkerque is the furthest away, approximately 75 - 90 minutes drive and Calais is roughly 45 - 60 minutes.

If you use the tunnel you will arrive at Coquelles, about midway between Calais and Boulogne.

Exit the A16 at junction 29, immediately before the Peage.

As you leave Boulogne you will come to a roundabout. Stay to the left and take 2nd exit to Montreuil, (there is a right hand lane filter to Le Touquet).

Stay on the N1 straight through Hesdin l'Abbe and Samer.

After Samer the road starts to go up hill then gets steep and takes a sharp double bend, first to the left and then the right.

A little further on you will see a sign to Cormont on the right and a little further still is a sign on the left to Hucqueliers.

Start to slow down as the next small turning on the left is the D147 to Bernieulles and Beussent where you turn off.

Follow this road down the hill to Bernieulles where you can either go straight on or turn left, they both lead out onto same road.

(If you miss the D147 carry on half a mile or so and take the next on the left, again it will take you into Bernieulles. You then go straight across or turn right at Bernieulles).

The road ends at a T junction. Turn right to Inxent.
