Hi,
We are currently touring around France and so far we have visited Honfleur, Arramanches, Bayeur and at the moment we are at Mon St Michel. We are having a fantastic time and the weather is superb but we just cannot decide where to head for next. We fancy either the Loire Valley or the Dordogne area and so have decided to ask you funsters for advice and hear what those who have had more experience of France would suggest.
We like pretty quaint villages and towns and prefer locations that are not too overcrowded or too touristy but at the same time somewhere with interesting things to see and do with a chilled out relaxed atmosphere. One couple we have met during our travels around France said they visited somewhere in Dordogne where street entertainers played to the customers and passers by as they sat at pavement cafes and I really loved the sound of that but I cannot recall where they said that was now. They also raved about how pretty the Dordogne is. My husband loves to fish and they also said they found a campsite where you could more or less fish from your awning! I wish I had asked them where it was now as my husband would love to spend a few days on a campsite like that! anyway, the dilemma is (well it's not really a dilemma is it?) we just cannot make our minds up now. We have 2 weeks left of our holiday and we don't mind a full days travelling to get to where we are going, so distance isn't a major issue for us.
So funsters ..... where do you think we should head towards: the Dordogne or the Loire Valley - your guidance will be very much appreciated!
Thanks.

PS Any suggestions on aires, wildcamping spots or campsites in these areas would be very helpful too.
