This is mostly more questions about small towns . We are driving from Beynac-et-Cazenac to Bordeaux Airport. We are leaving Beynac on Thursday , June 20 at 2 p.m. We need to get to the airport by 12 Noon the next day. Plenty of time to drive there but also enough time to stop midway in some small charming town/ village to spend the night in a B&B / have a nice meal/ walk around the town..
Then the next morning, not be more than 1 1/2 from the BOD Airport ,,, so we have time to return the car and get to our flight by 12 noon (give or take ).
ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
I am new to FODORS. What does IME stand for and what is a gite?

If you leave Beynac around 8 a.m. you probably will make it to the airport in plenty of time, assuming that you are dropping off the car at the airport. No need for an intermediary overnight stop.

I have not read the entire offerings by our fellow Foderites...I hope you will look at the site

We have so many memories from our very long stay in the medieval village in Meyrals. My husband and I are still close with Jon and Sue Long, the owners of the fantastic Gite. Actually we Skype with them almost weekly...we talk about our kids, gardens, trips, and how we loved grilling duck breasts and sharing wine with them nightly. Their walnut grove and fruit trees, swimming pool and tiny village is not to be missed. The location is oh so central to everything of interest. Lovely varied restaurants, markets, and sites meet everyones needs. We stayed in the Magnolia House and found it to be totally perfect. It is close to Sarlat ..Dordogne River and Vezere river, the village of Les Eyzie-de-Tayac, and countless vistas. Please give it a look.
