We are back from a wonderful Fall break trip with Nana and Pops to the Dordogne region of France. Our second year living in Europe, Pete bought me a Lonely Planet Guide called France's Best Road Trips. Boy did that book make me drool! So many beautiful places to see. I was drawn to the Dordogne region by the descriptions of the food and scenery. Then an expat friend posted photos from her family's trip there (they've been a number of times) and I was sold! Just a matter of fitting it in with all of the other trips we wanted to take. Fall break seemed a good time, out of the crowded tourist season.
Cheap flights were in and out of Bordeaux, 2.5 hours west of where we stayed in the Dordogne. To break up our trip on the first day, we spent the mornin
g in St. Émilion, a picturesque town that we had
visited two years prior on our trip to Bordeaux/San Sebastian with Auntie Rach. It was as pretty as we'd remembered it and not feeling the pressure to see the town, we lingered over lunch in a pretty square while the kids ran around burning off travel energy.
