Land ahoy! With so many of you traveling from Farfaraway land, we thought we would give you some practical informations on how to reach the beautiful French countryside, where to stay (we know a couple of good barns don´t you worry), babysitting options for you baby-owners, etc. If you you need additional information, however, let us know and we´ll look it up for you. Click here to go directly to the section you need: About Gorron and maps, how to get there, directions, lodging, babysitting, things to do in the area About Gorron and how to get thereAbout Gorron and maps
Gorron is the small village where Audrey grew up like a good French girl - but helas, all that goodness was lost the minute she met a certain Danish guy hehe. :D The village counts about 3000 inhabitants, and is located at the corner where the Brittany and Normandy regions meet, 3 and ½ hours west from Paris. 
Your optionsDepending on where you come from, you will want to do one of the following:
Driving directionsLodgingHostel: Gîte de la ColmontFor people coming from far away, we have already booked a hostel, the Gîte de la Colmont, for the weekend of the wedding - Friday and Saturday nights. The Gîte can host about 60 people, and is conveniently located right in the "center" of the village, by Gorron´s park, with a view on the small lake. It is also quite close to Audrey´s parents´ house -well I guess in villages nothing is really to far away :). If you wish to stay there, let us know ASAP so that we can save you a spot. There are 4-5 beds per room (+one bathroom per room), and we will try to put people together as much as possible. The Gîte also has with a big kitchen and dinning room, a recreation room with a TV and couches, foosball table, pool table....so you guys should be able to have some fun! 
Hotel(s)
Of course if you have a car and don´t mind driving a bit, there are other hotels within a 20-minute drive: look in towns such as Ambrière-Les-Vallés, Mayenne, Fougères (let us know if you need help!)...but of course, think about the good old "don´t drink and drive", because you KNOW there will be lots of wine and champagne flowing, and many Gammel Dansk toasts to be made! House rentalsIf you are coming with your little family and would like to rent a house in the area to stay for a few days, go check the official website of the Gîtes de France , and you can do it all from there! Stay with friends and familyJust so you know, if needed, we always have the possibility to have you stay with someone from Audrey´ family or friends. So, if we run out of all the options mentioned above, don´t you worry, you will not have to sleep in the streets -or fields might be more appropriate here hehe! BabysittingQuite a few of you have babies or young infants, and while there are more than welcome at the party (we will try to get a room next to the reception where you can put a bed), we also understand that you might want to find a babysitter for the night so you can party without any worries. If that is the case, let us know as much in advance as possible, and we will try to arrange something for you.
