ATL to Bordeaux
Hi all,
I'm planning our 2005 trip to the Dordogne region.
My intent is to fly ATL Bordeaux. (We will return from Paris.)
I have 3 choices
1. Air France to CDG, 1 hr layover, AF Regional Jet to BOD.
2. Air France or Delta to CDG, 1:55 hr layover, AF regional jet to BOD
3. Delta to Madrid, 1:55 hr layover, AF Regional jet to Bordeaux.
Travel time is almost identical. I expect prices to be almost identical.
Is 1 hr long enough to make the transfer at CDG?
Is the Madrid airport better than CDG for a 2-hr layover?
Thanks for your help.

Madrid Barajas is a much smaller and far less confused mess than is CDG, but I don't know that I'd trust connection in a city that's not an Air France/Delta/Skyteam hub. CDG is the main hub, so if something unexpected happens and you miss your connection to Bordeaux, there will probably be plenty of other chances to get there. I'm not sure that will be the case at Barajas.
