Will definitely post a trip report at some point but feel free to e mail me in case I get lazy! [email protected]

We traveled by train from Barcelona to Toulouse, rented a car, and drove to the Dordogne, then drove to Limoges and took train to Paris. If you were going to the Dordogne Valley area, that would be a good route, but would not, of course take to Bordeaux. Limoges has a very fast train from Paris and then is a short drive south.

We loved the B&B we stayed at:

I don't think you could do better for location or charm or price.

See lots of caves, and drive around to see the countryside. Each town is so beautiful.

just bookmarking! thanks!
