What route are you planning to take? I don't have a map handy, but in my mind's eye Bordeaux would not be on the most direct route (which I believe would be through Poitiers and Limoges, e.g.). If you're thinking Bordeaux so you can travel along the coast, La Rochelle would be a prettier option.

Cool, ira....as I said I'm not near a map (on the Blackberry, and googling maps is a pain on the tiny screen), so was just doing it from memory.
Anyway, I think Michelin probably recommends it because it's autoroute all or most of the way, right? Not because it's the shortest distance between the two points.

Hi sinead; This is another suggestion in the Saint Emilion area. The incredible feeling about this b&b is that on leaving after three day's, we were like'family'. Lovely people. They only have a few rooms and one of them is considered a 'family room'. The breakfast was one of the best during our 22 days in France.
