Take exit 20 SW off the A10 and follow the D801 south to the Rond Point Jean Le Reste and turn east on the D952 along the Loire river. From there take the D77 north and turn left on Rue de l'Eglise and again on Parc de la Vallee until you come upon the monument on the NW side of the road against the stadium's perimeter wall.
