Unfortunately, we will only be in the Dordogne region for two nights,
but we will be near Sarlat. Rocamadour doesn't sound far, and we will have a
rental car. I had also hoped to visit some of the prehistoric cave paintings
in the area.
A college friend of mine spent a year studying in Aix-en-Provence, and
she loved it. I'm not sure if we'll make it there on this trip, but we'll
surely travel there another time.
