Blaye is there ? That is where our family fled in 1940 when we were invaded... We became migrants in a way. Never been myself.

The Blaye that I know is between Bordeaux and St-Emilion. If the Blaye referred to above is "near the port," I think it must be a different one.

Merci a tous!
I think the Royan ferry will work for us and this way we can take a different route (since we will have to come back to Bordeaux on the return back to Paris). |
Blaye is on the Gironde, with a lovely little ferry and a massive fort.

As someone mentioned above, the really bad traffic times around Bordeaux are the commuter hours-otherwise getting into and out of Bordeaux is really easy.

Doing the trip only once does not mean that it is the same all of the time.

I loved the Dun de Pyla by Arcachon- also a really neat seaside town. We of course walked or tumbled down the big pile to the sea.
