Hi,
We are leaving Paris on on the 1st of July and want to get to Barcelona by the 7th. We are planning on driving so where would you suggest we stop and for how long.

We are travelling with our 2 yr old and 4 yr old hence the crazy

Thanks for your suggestions!

Drive down via Chartres to see the cathedral and stop in the Loire valley. Visit Chenonceau the next day and then do a long drive to Sarlat. Stay in the Dordogne for three or four days and then make an overnight stop on your way to Barcelona.

Thanks Michael ... Is this right
Day 1 Loire valley
Day 2 sarlat
Day 3-7 dordogne
Day 8 somewhere on the way to Barcelona

Michael

Sarlat is in the Dordogne.

Ok so day 1 Loire Valley, Day 2-4 Sarlat Day 5 somewhere on the way to Barcelona?

Michael

July 1 Loire valley
July 2 - 5 Sarlat
July 6 Carcassonne
July 7 Barcelona

According to Google map, it takes 2.5 hours to go from Sarlat to Carcassonne, and the same time from Carcassone to Barcelona. So if you really like the Dordogne, you can simply go to Barcelona in a single day.
