'Logrono Dave' and I have done some discussing of that area. Thank you Jaimie, my recollection is that you and I tend to like similar things. There are also some spots along Calle Cerco Viejo.

In Puente de la Reina we parked in the free lot at Av. All are near Puente de la Reina or Estella. If you’re interested in the Camino then consider visiting Iglesia de Santa María de Eunate, Alto de Perdón, and the Free Wine Fountain at Bodegas Irache. Very near to Estella (10km) is the Monastery of Iranzu. By its alter is a pillar carved like serpents. In Estella is Iglesia de San Pedro de la Rúa. In Estella, we parked at Aparcamiento Gratuito off of Calle San Francisco Javier, but there are other free lots too. In Logroño there are free parking lots along Calle Del Norte. Since you will have a car and to save time, plug free parking lots into your GPS, or bookmark them on Google maps. No idea where you plan to visit from there. From Guernica you could drop down to Logroño and Estella. I’d then drive to Hondarrbia, San Sebastián, Bilbao, and Guernica. To me it was worth a couple hours at most since there’s very little to see there. Jean Pied du Port is small, but busy because of it being the beginning of the French Camino. Jean pied de-Port are relatively close together so you could use one of them as a base, then take day trips to the others. Maybe the weather was too hot, so not so good for sightseeing, some nice things to see but for me not the highlight for my stay in the area there.Īt some stretches the roads are very windy and bumpy, so after a while happy arriving at my destination.īayonne, Biaritz/St Jean de. Didn’t explore much further there, nevertheless worth doing to my opinion.Ĭahors has a pleasant vibe, but was not as charming as for instance Sarlat. Larnagol is lovely as well as the old part of Carjac. The latter lies (also) on top of a cliff you can see driving further upstream. Cirq-la-Popie to Calvignac, at both sides of the river Lot. Missed for instance the gardens of Marquessac, but saw images on TV5 (French channel), both the gardens and the view from there over the valley are stunning, the same from hill top village Domme. The same for the D53 between Castelnaud-la-Chapelle and Château des Milandes, the latter once home to Josephine Baker. Several stretches of the road -D703- along the Dordogne river between Montfort and Beynac-et-Cazenac are very scenic.

Had not the time to see evering but once I wil certainly go back for more. The area south of Sarlat-la-Canada is really lovely and very worth exploring. On the other hand, last fall, in a 2 week time frame, I planned a trip to Poland which ended up being amazing(with lots of help from some very knowledgeable people on this forum).Ī few weeks back I stayed near Castelnaud-la-Chapelle (south of Sarlat) and St. would drop the COVID test, I purchased air tickets so I have less time for planning than I typically have. We've traveled to Europe twice during COVID and had decided that at some point our luck would run out with the COVID testing on return.

If convenient to our driving route, we may be interested in some of these: We do tend to have many 2 or 3 day stays tho we will be staying 4 nights in Dordogne.ĮDITED TO ADD: I have been working with google maps and via MichelinĬities we will be visiting (via overnights or daytrips): We do move faster and do fewer day trips than many and are willing to have shorter stays at inns so as to avoid some of the backtracking that occurs when just a few 'bases' are picked. I don't need help with allocating days per cities, just the driving route. I am pretty good at constructing driving routes, but have to quickly get myself an itinerary so I can hopefully book all the wineries and inns that we had planned to stay at/visit in previous versions of this trip. I pretty much have all my wineries, sites, inns and restaurants researched but if you want to share recommendations feel free. I have a little less time for this iteration so I've dropped some areas we had planned to visit. I've planned and cancelled several different versions of this trip. We hate interstate type highways (like the As in France), though we will use them when its what makes sense. We like scenery, small historic towns, history museums and wine (we know about the strict regs for drinking and driving). I've been playing with constructing a circular route so that we will not be going through the same area more than once. We have 3.5 weeks and we'll have a rental car. We have been to France quite a few times, including 3 road trip type vacations. Mid September we are flying into Bordeaux, round trip.
