Please locate for me on a map of France: Trainou, 45470. I need the
French "Departement" and any other directions for driving to this
place.

Dear peggy81-ga,

You have not provided the exact location of the garden. I?m guessing
that it may be Arina Tcherem's Garden.
http://www.chez-arina.com/

The below link should take you to the Multimap site and the relevant
map. You can zoom in or out as you prefer. I will point you to two
locations as they are slightly different. You may have ask when you
get there because there is no map on her web site.

The first is by the town name and post code.

The second by town name and the address of Arina Tcherem's Garden.
http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=235000.2669012&Y=6070000.27024249&width=500&height=300&gride=234069.2669012&gridn=6070858.27024249&srec=0&coordsys=mercator&db=FR&addr1=&addr2=rue+de+la+gervaise&addr3=Trainou&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=0&out.x=6&out.y=8&scale=200000


For details of the route, I suggest you use the AA web site road planner.
http://www.theaa.com/travelwatch/planner_main.jsp?linkto=europe&

Make sure you have the Europe Region selected. Select your starting
point and then type Traînou, France in the destination. Click Next>
and you should be supplied with the route.


I hope this answers your question and that the links work. If it does
not, or the answer is unclear, then please ask for clarification of
this research before rating the answer. I shall respond to the
clarification request as soon as I receive it.
Thank you

The answer was fast and very helpful. Indeed it was Arina Tcherem's
garden I was after. Many thanks.
