The best holiday ever
 

BORDEAUX

 

Just over an hours drive.  You can park your car on the outskirts of the city and take the lovely tram all the

way to the centre.  There are galleries, shops, gardens, restaurants - even a theatre and opera house -

always something to see and do

 

LASCAUX

Lascaux may be the most beautiful Paleolithic painted cave in the world.  It contains more than 1500 pictures of animals, all of them are 17,000 years old. Around 90 minutes drive and well worth it!

SARLAT

A rather busy place in midsummer, but ideal to visit during the spring and autumn months.  A mediaeval

town with winding, cobbled streets

 

Visit the quieter village of Beynac along the route with its hilltop castle overlooking the river Dordogne

 

ST EMILION

Not just a place to buy the famous wine, but also to see the marvellous catacombes carved out of the rock
