seventeen days in France
We have enjoyed all the messages about France. We are doing a trip in Mid September which will start with one week in Paris at the Pont Royal which some of you have commented on positively. Also got some scrumptious restarant recommendaitons in Paris for yummy unpretentious and relatively reasonable meals. However we will have extra ten days to organise travel in France. WE were thinking of dordogne, Loire, Britanny, Provence as possibilities. How do we break it down in terms of only haqving ten days and would there be a logical route from Paris where we start out trip. Would it be best to train to somewhere and get a car or just drive throughout. Is there a loop that we can do. Would appreciate feedback on possible itinerary. Thanks for your help, Mooky

Hi mooky,
10 days in the Dordogne in Sept sounds great.
You can train to Libourne (25E pp each way PREMS fare) spend a couple of days in the wine country around Bordeaux, drive to the area around Sarlat, drive back to Libourne and back to Paris by train.
Car rental with www.novarentacar.com or www.autoeurope.com. Rental agency is right near the train station in Libourne.

Training to another part of France and then renting sidesteps the bugaboo of renting a car and driving inParis. And if you plan right, you should be able to return directly to CDG for your trip home.
You almost have time for both the Dordogne and Provence. Arrange your car rental before arriving in France.

I agree ten days in the Dordogne would be fabulous, but since you originally were thinking (I think) of hitting four regions (which isn't practical), you could pare that down to two and still not be too rushed.
I'd take the TGV (25-40€ PREM tickets) from Paris to Avignon, check out the Bouches-du-Rhône area for four days, then drive to the Dordogne, base yourself somewhere around Sarlat for the rest of the trip, then get to Bordeaux or Libourne for an inexpensive PREM ticket back to Paris.

Hi Underhill
>Irea,
How many syllables in "neah"?<
2.
"rat" has a long vowel sound, not as in "nay", but longer than in the Northren "at".
"Bread" also has 2 syllables, "bray ed".
