Making your way to the Maison aux Volets Bleus is
relatively simple.

BY FERRY

P&O and Brittany Ferries take various routes England to France.

My Route for a maximum-time-in-Rodes visit is to drive from CAEN, on the French coast. It takes about 12 hrs driving time to Rodes (plus any stops) - and via this route is approx 650 miles. I go, as the crow flies to Orleans, where I join the Autoroute (A71/E11) down to Perpignan. Excellent AIRES along the route for stopping. It costs something but gets one there quickly if that is what is wanted. Brittany ferries are not amongst the cheapest routes, though!

There are a number of routes to chose from depending on your requirements, so it's worth exploring these.

AT THE OTHER END

Easiest exit from the autoroute is Perpignan 2. from where you follow signs to Andorra (and Prades). Further instructions and maps are sent to you after final payment is received.

CAR HIRE

Cars can be hired and collected at the Airports.
Costs vary, but are less expensive to hire in
Spain. It is also worthwhile to make your
arrangements for hiring a car in England,
rather than in the country to which you are
going.
