Hi there
reading the posts and am impressed answers to previous questions....My wife and I will travel to bordeaux early july- 2 days in the city...then wide open for the next 8 days....as well as the north, south east and west offerings...any possibilities of being specific regarding areas to base ourselves in for a few days.......looking for a clean safe hotel...normal facilities...restaurants and scenery etc....can find the hotels no problem...but would love the recommendations re town or villages.
My comment re somebody flying into Cork in Ireland with a similar question would be ...fly to Cork...go to blarney- but avoid Midleton...travel to Kinsale but ignore Macroom...etc....
can anybody offer a similar suggestion around Bordeaux...I like to drive so no worries there and we've never been in this region before so no worries on previous hassles etc
many thanks

Don't miss St. Emilion. It is just beautiful and there is excellent wine tasting too.
After Bordeaux, you might consider driving along the Dordogne River. It is incredibly scenic with lovely villages along the way. A couple that come to mind are Beynac & Cazenac, Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, La Roque Gageac, Domme and a bit north of Domme is Sarlat-la-Caneda, a lovely historic town with a really fun market. You might even want to visit a cave or two and view the prehistoric cave paintings. They are north of Sarlat and very interesting.
There are abbeys and castles all over this area since the 100 Years War was fought through here. A castle on every hill . . .
It is easy to find a Logis de France in nearly every town or village. At the first one, get a directory and have them call ahead to make your bookings if you like. These are all fairly small, family-owned hotels and many are in historic buildings. Some are in the historic center so check parking if you need it. They nearly all have excellent restaurants. One near Sarlat I can highly recommend is Le Perigord, listed as La Roque Gageac but actually on the Sarlat turnoff in the countryside with a gorgeous park, pool and tennis. It is also very reasonable and the restaurant is sensational. Hotel-Restaurant Le Perigord, 24250 La Roque Gageac, +33 (0)5 5328-3655; Fax: +33 (0)5 5328-3873, http://www.hotelleperigord.eu, hotelleperigord@wanadoo.fr

Type some of these towns into the VT Search Window to see photos and web links of the area. It's one of our favorite parts of France, incredibly beautiful and very friendly.
Have a great trip.
After dinner at La Tupina, I took a walk towards the River. It was in May and the sun did not set until 10PM. I got some nice shoots of the bridge using my Nikon camera.
If you are taking the tram, it is at the Bourgogne stop on the C line.
At the end of the XVIIIth century, The city of Bordeaux was particularly lively thanks to it commercial activities (wine, colonial trade...).
The Duke of Richelieu, Governor of Guyenne, decided to equip the city with an Opera House that was fitting of such a city, and asked the architect Victor Louis (1731-1800) to oversee the project.
Started in 1773, the construction of the Grand-Théâtre took seven years to complete, and was finished in 1780. This imposing neoclassical building (88 x 47 metres) is capable of holding 1,114 people.
The Grand-Thêatre underwent a final restoration during 1990-1991, recreating the original decoration. Today the Grand Théâtre is unarguably one of the finest pieces of this city that is so marked by XVIIIth century architecture.
The Grand-Thêatre presents both theatrical and musical productions, and has seen some of the finest stars of the last century: the Talma, Nourrit,Viardot, Falcon, Duprez, Petipa...
The Grand-Théâtre still offers musicals, ballet and concerts... and is true to its vocation today, more than ever.
To go to the Capus at the dawns, then to decide to offer itself Bordeaux seen of the top of the tower Saint-Michel, to walk in the medieval venelles and exhausted, to leave on the other side of water, to take his shoes discreetly under the table, to sip a glass of white while looking at the stream to carry his everlasting tips of wood...
The bell-tower was built by the Bishop of the same name in the 15C. It is freestanding because the intervening church buildings (residences) were destroyed during the Revolution. A high wind decapitated the steeple later on and it has been replaced by a copper-coated Virgin in the latter part of the 19C. The tower is not as tall as the steeples of the North transept or the tower at St.-Michel church.
The Hotel de Ville, like most older fine buildings in Bordeaux, was built in the 18C as a palace for the Archbishop (Prince Rohan) which is why it is next to the Cathedral. The preferred view is from the garden behind it which we did not take. On the next street North is the Musee des Arts Decoratifs (we did not visit it). Off the garden, also North, is the Musee des Beaux Arts (See Our Tips). To tour the magnificantly decorated interior of the Hotel de Ville you must be available on Friday afternoon (we were not there then).
