The towns around Bordeaux are a bore, with the exception of Arcachon and Cap Ferret, which are on the ocean and quite picturesque. The Dune du Pyla is well worth a visit (but all three of those places can easily be visited in one day).

For small towns with cobblestone streets you'd need to go elsewhere...like the Dordogne (and even there we don't have many cobblestone streets any more).

There are cobblestone streets in Bordeaux. Plenty of them.

Hi V,

There are those who consider St Emelion rather pleasant.

You could also look up Bordeaux under "Destinations".

But he/she doesn't want to go into Bordeaux (too bad, I find it charming for about 2 days).
