Summer holidays 2020
Discussion
Sitting on the terrace of our place in the Dordogne with a bottle of fizz on the go. Was on the 08.20 shuttle this morning and arrived here at 7.30pm.
Popped into the bar in the village for a sharpener on the way through and, as we were unpacking, neighbours popped over with a lovely bottle of 2015 claret and some charcuterie. By all accounts, there's a rush back to normality here although the shuttle was quiet and there weren't as many Dutch/Belgian/German cars on the A28 as normal

Nice! Heading there next week (Beynac-et-Cazenac)...
Is that 8:20 departure time, about 10 hrs Calais to Dordogne?
That's about right. We are between Bordeaux and Bergerac, about 45 minutes drive inland from Bordeaux. I have done it quicker - usually when on my own and I've been able to do the whole thing with one petrol/coffee/per stop - but when meandering down with the family, 10 is a sensible time to allowIs that 8:20 departure time, about 10 hrs Calais to Dordogne?

Sounds great...We were in Saint-Leon-Sur-Vezere a few years ago. We are off to Argeles-Sur-Mer (near Perpignan) on 31st. Travelling from North West England so down to Tunnel on 31st and then overnight in Compiegne before smashing out the remaining 950km the following day. I'm happy to sit and drive all day and luckily our kids travel well and are happy enough to sit and watch DVD's etc. Should do it with a 3 stopper.
We're heading to a similar area - Souillac. Any tips on good things to see/do would be welcomed!Edited by Ben Jk on Thursday 9th July 08:05
We're having a stop at Tours on the way down and Le Mans on the way home, it's a bit of a slog with the caravan on the back!
