We are looking into a trip to France in mid/late September = our usual plan is to fly to Paris and hop the TGV and get to wherever it is we can/want to go and then have a rental car, gite or some such and drive around and see things focusing on the small towns and other things that we ought to see. We've been to a variety of places in France [and Italy] doing that and now I'm interested in an area we have never visited = Dordogne/Perigord. We will have roughly 10-14 days so we can either lodge in two places in that region, 1 for one week and the other for the next, and then explore from each or find a 'central' location and just meander from there. So the first Q I guess is should we just stay in one place and venture forth from there, or find lodging in two places and use each as a central point from which to explore? And any suggestions for either? Thank you!!!!!!
