This image of the red and white striped house was taken at the intersection of Rue de la Poterne and Rue du Poirier in Orléans. If you're traveling from Paris, the easiest way to get to Orléans is by driving or taking the train.
Once you've arrived in the small town, reference the GPS coordinates and you'll be able to walk to this viewpoint. I stood on the northeast side of the intersection, looking south toward the house. When you're at the intersection, you can't miss the red and white striped house.
