Hi all,
I’ve seen there are quite a few posts regarding routes to The Dordogne but the ones I’ve come across all originate from Calais/ ferry port. Does anybody have any experience of this route from the Beaches. I’ve looked on Via Michelin and it gives 3 options, is there a particular route that should be avoided.
We will be travelling from Les Sablons to Domaine de Soleil Plage. I’ve read some routes are pretty scary and I’d definitely like to avoid these if possible. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Also is this trip ok to do in one day? I was unsure as I know traffic levels can be quite high near Sarlat. We depart les Sablons on 04/08 and not booked in to Soleil until the 5th so we do have a spare night if needed. If it’s not needed we can book into site a day earlier.
Thanks

Absolutely nothing scary about the routes indicated by Viamichelin. It's completely straight-forward on any of the three suggested routes and I wonder where you've read that any of them are 'scary'? Of course there are many more choices of route should you prefer to just work out your own. We've done many of them over the years. We prefer to do cross-country, so use either the route via Millau, Rodez, and across to Figeac because we both prefer to drive off autoroute and see some scenery, or we go west before Rodez and across via Limogne and Villefranche de Rouergue. We've done a route parallel to the A61, via Castelnaudry and then used the autoroute around Toulouse and back on to the free A820 at Caussade, and followed the parallel road to the A20 all the way to Gourdon and then joined the A704 towards the Dordogne.
But we've also done the autoroute A61, A62, A20 and the only likely problem is traffic around Toulouse.
Anything is possible and none of them are scary at all. If you do decide to break the journey then a cross-country route will have plenty of options for an overnight stay. We've stayed at Martel, Figeac, Recoules-Previnquieres, Villefrance de Rouergue, Najac, and others!
