The location of the Royale-les-Eaux of OHMSS
I'm using Google Maps for measuring distance and a 1951 map for roads and highway identification. That map identifies roads down to "Tracks and Trails". There were not nearly as many roads back then.
If you consider the distance for the sign post south of Montreuil as between 5 and 6 miles south of the city then I figure the sign post could have been just south of or at Wailly-Beaucamp and the intersection of N1 [now D901] and an unmarked graded all-weather road now known as D143E3.
If Bond had not been in pursuit of Tracy, from that signpost he could have and did travel the N1 on to Montreuil which was more then 5 miles but less than 6 miles north. He could have followed the route he took toward LeTouquet and the coast in about 14 to 15 miles. He also could have taken the now D143E3 to the D143 north to LeTouquet in about the same 14 to 15 miles.
From that sign the most direct routes back then would get you to Berck-sur-Mer and Merlimont-Plage in 7 to 8 miles but Stella-Plage would have been 10 miles. Stella-Plage may be the best fit for geographic location. It is much less certain than the description for the CR location.

This thread deals with the location of Royale Les Eaux in CR. I don't see the need for a separate thread covering OHMSS.
