Driving from Lyon

Take on Highway A7 or A46 towards Marseille. Right before Givors, get on highway A47, St Etienne/Clermont Ferrand direction. Just when arriving in St Etienne, you must keep going on the the National 88 towards Le Puy en Velay. You are on a 2×2 way road.
Take the St Maurice exit, about 6-7 kms after passing by Monistrol s/loire. Go under the N88 in order to enter St Maurice de Lignon’s village.
Keep driving straight forward up to the end of the village. Just before getting out, you will find a parking lot with a place on your right. At this intersection, you will need to go on the left road direction Maubourg-Les Yverras-Chateau de Maubourg (a steel cross is showing the intersection)
Take this road for about 1 km (the road goes down then up in a wooden area).
When driving out of the woods, keep driving down for 200 more meters. At the bottom of this descent, you will see a group of stoned houses on your left. La Desirade home is a large stoned farm building with a grey wrought iron gate. Bonne route !!!
