Welcome Diane - I'm a new member too and really enjoy reading about
everyone's experiences.
We are lucky enough to have been to France at least once a year for the
past 24 years! Last year we visited perhaps our favourite region - the
Dordogne/Lot and I would agree with everything Richard says. I suggest that
you base yourself self around Sarlat which is central to most of the
intersting sites. Gouffre de Padirac is the largest underground cavern
system in europe and well worth a visit - but go early! We spent 2 days
canoeing/kayaking down the Dordogne which is fabulous for the views and fun
if not desperately exciting. We rented a gite via the internet and if you
are interested email me privately and I'll give you the details. I would
recommend having a gite with a pool especially with the kids! Another idea
is to go to one of the campsites in the area. Our kids loved them when they
were younger and they make loads of friends and have activities on site -
its comfortable camping - we have a mobile home which is great. Anyway I can
give you details of companies etc if you want
cheers
