Recommendations for Bordeaux/Bergerac region - France

[ecotec]

Looking for some advice, we are hoping to go to Bordeaux/Bergerac region this summer (July probably), any recommendations for things to do and see in the surrounding area whilst we are there. We will be driving down from Calais too so any recommend stops en-route would also be great.

Re driving as I have never driven in France any tips? I also read that choosing avoid toils on satnav provides some more scenic routes?

Thanks,
