Travel Guides

Howdy travelers,

I am reading two awesome travel guides that I would recommend if you want to get even more excited about the trip.

The first is Dordodgne, Bordeaux, and the Southwest Coast by Eyewitness Travel Guides. This one has totally awesome pictures of the scenery, castles, and food of the area. It has a tiny mention of our town, Tremolat, and the surrounding areas.

The second is the Rough Guide to the Dordogne and the Lot.

After hearing about the discussions of where we'll be going each day, I would recommend these guides highly, because you can see maps, pictures, and read descriptions; it will really get you psyched up!

Both of these are available through Prospector if you want to check 'em out!

Do you know of other guides? Post them here!

Carte de bibliothèque

To access many of the articles and books that I am going to mention in the blog, you may have to dig out your library card if you aren't already a frequent user of it.

Most of the books can be ordered through the Colorado inter-library loan service called Prospector, where you get them from a far away library and have them delivered to your closest library. But to do this, you do need a card from one of the libraries that participates in Prospector , including Denver, Poudre , and UCCS and CC in the Springs (Pikes Peak does not, though they may be able to order through regular inter-library loan.)

For many of the articles, I will be able to provide snippets, but not the whole thing for copyright reasons. So I will give you the citations, and try to provide directions for how to access them from your libraries. Happy reading!

Bonjour!

Hey friends,

I created this blog in order to have an easy place to share info. about our upcoming trip, and so that I could post all the great resources I am finding about the Dordogne region. Hope you find some of these books, articles, web sites, etc. helpful and I would like to know what you're finding as well so feel free to post whatever you wish. Even "WHHHEEEEEE WE'RE GOING TO FRANCE!" is perfectly acceptable...
