My husband and I are planning a trip to PAris & Dordogne in mid to late September for his 50th birthday. We would like to rent a small cottage for a weekly. Any suggestions on how to find a romantic cottage for two?

There's another internet forum on Delphi (free, but have to register to post anything) that specializes in France where you might get good advice and information on this topic. Here's the link: http://forums.delphiforums.com/PBPro...Reading+%3E%3E

You might get in touch with the British agency, Simply P&eacute;rigord, at www.simply-perigord.com. It's run by David and Colleen Snitch. They list more than 75 houses for rent in the P&eacute;rigord, in the heart of the Dordogne, and they have very nice places. And they speak perfect English, which always helps.<BR><BR>(And for those of you ready to fire your Kalachnikovs in my direction, no, my house isn't listed with them, nor do I get a commission (rather, I pay them quite a tidy sum each year for various services) and it isn't suitable for just two people anyway, so hold your fire.) How ridiculous that I should even have to consider typing this disclaimer, but on Fodor's anything is possible.

There are 3 very good web sites I have used: www.francedirect.net, www.hotels-restau-dordogne.org, and www.gite.com. Also www.123france.com/europe/france/aquitaine has many listings. Finally, try www.france-publicite.com. Hope some of these will give you what you are looking for.
