We’re driving (as in I’m doing all the driving) to a site in the Dordogne in 5 weeks. We’re not resort people and can’t even be doing with hotels. Our first overseas holiday since Covid, my mum passing away and my wife’s cancer diagnosis. I think we deserve one. Near Saumur if I recall. Yes, I do all the driving as well ? Dordogne is nice, been to Sarlat (Calviac), Bergerac (Saint Foy la Grande) and Les Eyzies on different trips but we don't like going to the same place twice. Would definitely recommend Eastern France if you haven't been already. Sorry to hear about your mum and wife, hope it's not severe and can enjoy your time away.

We've been to the Jura (Domaine du Chalain) in Eastern France about half dozen times and love it. Also been to near Saumer. This year we're in Le Bugue (19 miles from Sarlat). Thanks for your best wishes. She had the treatment (surgery, chemo and radiotherapy) just before Covid and everything seems to be OK now.

When I said eastern France I meant Alsace-Lorraine area, Colmar in particular and its environs is lovely and you can pop into Germany or Switzerland for the day.

Dublin and Faro back in 2018/19, but not used it since the pandemic, so not sure how many routes they're currently flying. Tyler Durden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
