You need to give a start time from Calais. But as a guide I am leaving Calais for Sarlat at 8am and making for the town of Salbris, south of Orleans on the A71 for an overnight stop. It's about 300 miles via Rouen and with two good stops I hope to get there by about 4pm.

Camping La Sologne is on the edge of town and is signed. leave the A71 at junc 4 and town is about 2 miles. The site is just north of the town on the N20. You will see a lake on the right the site is visible at the far side.

Hi,

We always stay at Salbris when we are heading to the Dordogne. It makes for a great stopover especially as its easy to find, and has good food onsite.

There is no need to go anywhere near Paris to get to this site which is another bonus.

I only drove around Paris once and I vowed never again. The route I'm taking is A16 south from Calais, A28 to Rouen then from Rouen south on N154 to Evereux, Dreux and Chartres then to the A71 south. I got that route from people on here and it looks straight forward.

From Salbris to Sarlat is about another 200 mile so an early start should get you there by lunchtime.

Carol,

Just out of interest I remember from an earlier post of yours you were undicided on a site near Sarlat. Just wondering if you have decided on one and when you are going.
