lesfavets Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi !! We went to see if we could find the restaurant last Sunday but was not able to do so. We looked up their website and went to the village they listed but went all round the village and the local areas but just couldn't find it and didn't see any signs relating to it. It was way out in the country. Don't know where we went wrong? So !! sorry but we will not be joining you on this occassion after all.les favets ( Royston ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Les Favets... perhaps you may have missed it... it really is very easy to find? I dont know the road number from memory (greyman might) but I'll get it tomorrow and put clear directions on here so that you can find it... dont give up... I'll be back tomorrow [:$] xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 OK - we're all booked for Friday 25th March at 12:00... I can add more people later so if you still want to come it's not a problem... there is plenty of space so the more the merrier.Directions - Obviously this will very much depend on where you are coming from so rather than try and give directions I have found the restaurant on Google Maps... I've switched to satalite view and can recognise the location so it is acurate.Here is the link to google Auberge de la Brande - Les 4 routesThere is at the same location a small pepiniere - if you live not too far away you may recognise this place as they have a very nice plant sale every May - here is there website Jardins De La Brande And to save you searcing back this is the restaurant Auberge de la Brande You'll see from the google maps link that the restaurant is on the D21, it has a small car park but across the road (visible on the google link) there is a large layby/parking area which folks use too.If anyone needs any more information feel free to send me an email or pm... really looking forward to meeting folks next weekRose [kiss]EDIT - when I click the google maps link it's quite zoomed out... zoom in and it's item A (on my screen anyway) that you're looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just john Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 One thing, how will we recognise each other? apart from Rose of course, from her avatar[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Attach bananas somewhere visible about your person. Before I discovered the power of the yellow fruit, I used to identify myself at airports and the like with a pineapple. Worked a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Have a great tour, Coops. [:D]Maybe we can all just guess who one another is? I'm not sure these bananas will stand up to the journey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardengirl Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 But Rose, I thought only you and Coops wouldn't need a banana; crutches and avatar would sort you two out! [:D]However, your musical moon-banana sounds great - but let's hope we don't nod off when we all pull the string! [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
