The Dordogne has become one of my favourite French destinations all year round for its tranquillity and its paradoxically simple and surprising change of scenery. With my wife, we have abandoned the plane for a few years, even if an exception will perhaps be made in 2023 for a trip that requires it. Used to the roads of France, mainly in the west, we will privilege the National road and the crossing of its zones neglected by many French people who will go as fast as possible. The first aperitif will be later but it is a choice, almost militant. Our little Paco, barely two years old, will enjoy the road more despite the inconveniences that this extended choice may imply.
