Caen The nearest city to Le Picard has
massive shopping complexes at Herouville and Mondeville
as well as Cora in Carpiquet. |
 |
Cora is the nearest
hypermarket to Le Picard. Far larger than most British
hypermarkets it sells just about everything you might
ever need. You need to go east along the RN13 so about a
mile before you reach Bayeux take a right turn onto the
slip road. Take care, the turning is just after a bend
and it is easy to miss it! Travel along the RN13 (beware
permanent speed camera) until you reach the junction for
Carpiquet. At the bottom of the slip road continue right
to the roumdabout. Take the 5th exit and go back in the
direction you came. At the next roundabout take the 3rd
exit and continue on to Cora. |
