A 7-Day Nouvelle-Aquitaine Road Trip by Along Dusty Roads
Starting in Bergerac and ending in La Rochelle, this itinerary begins with medieval villages and fairytale chateaus, before taking in calming nature, countryside producers, comic book culture, Hollywood movie locations, and the sweeping Atlantic coast.
Use it as a helpful guide to shape your own route or to simply get a flavour of some of the experiences available in the southwest of France!
DAY ONE: MONPAZIER
💙 Driving: You'll be in and out of the car quite a bit today, but most of the journeys are relatively short and scenic.
💙 Tip: In this itinerary, it would be possible to spend several days in and around each place we visited in Nouvelle-Aquitaine - whether you're in full relax mode or in the mood to explore - so don't feel that you only need one day or night in each place. Slow travel is always the best way!
💙 Accommodation: Overlooking the Dordogne valley, Florence & Nathalie artfully converted a dilapidated 19th century barn into the sensitively modernised home & guesthouse called Hors-Série en Périgord , complete with their very own art gallery ! If you can, try and arrive in time for the stunning sunset from their private deck and pool.
Planning Find more travel inspiration & information for the Dordogne Valley Castles in this article .
DAY THREE: GREEN PÉRIGORD, BRANTÔME & BOURDEILLES
We recommend dinner at Le Saint André , whilst the healthy student population here means you won't be short of options for drinks in the evening and a bit of a different atmosphere from the first half of this itinerary.
💙 Driving: It's a 1-hour drive to Angoulême from Bourdeilles, and then you can simply explore the city on foot!
💙 Tips: There are two large annual events in Angoulême to take note of: the Comic Book Festival in January , as well as the Circuit des Ramparts race held in September .
💙 Accommodation: We stayed at Hotel du Palais , a quirky, colourful hotel in an excellent central location.

DAY FIVE: ANGOULÊME & MARAIS POITEVIN
Afterward, a long lunch at nearby Les Étangs de Julie is a great option.
Once you're ready to leave nature behind, hop in the car for the short drive into La Rochelle .
The historic Atlantic-facing city, the epicentre of France's trade with the new world, is a great choice for a standalone city break . Incredibly bicycle-friendly , it's a good opportunity to rent two wheels to explore the coastline and streets, or to head out on one of several popular boat trips.
💙 Driving: It's about 20 minutes from the flat, open countryside of the wetlands to the city, so you won't need to plan too far in advance. In La Rochelle, you won't need your car to get around (unless you plan on visiting the Atlantic islands too).
💙 Tips: La Rochelle's foodie reputation is growing, so it's highly recommended to book your table in advance for dinner, especially on the weekends.
💙 Accommodation: Résidence des Indes , a treasure chest of a townhouse across several stories, tells stories of discovery and global connection in every nook and cranny. Created by Mr & Mrs Sabatier this is a bold, colourful living museum, tea room and guesthouse in their third-generation family home with Indian and French design brought together.

Mapping Our Travel Memories
They were maps that lived, maps that one could study, frown over, and add to; maps, in short, that really meant something.
When I was younger, I had an electronic globe in my room.
It didn't light up. Instead, it had a blue base stand with several buttons. Pressing one would play the quiz; pick the right capital, find the country in which a particular city could be located, work out five countries beginning with M.
Playing a game of Where's Wally with strange place names.
That globe still lives in my parent's house. Its batteries will almost certainly have drained of their power, and its plastic surface which maps out the oceans and the continents will now be quite outdated. In the intervening twenty years or so since I received it one Christmas, new countries have been borne through conflict, secession or interminable disagreements on what constitutes a citizen.
Maps have meaning. They have not simply acted as tools for cartographers to plot, navigators to follow, and despots to strategise over. They shape a place, shape your view of their construction, they are politicised and contentious (with the Peters Projection Map offering an antidote ), and untold geo-political chaos over the last half decade in the Middle East and parts of Africa has resulted from a simple ruler straight line used to form new borders.
I still remember the discombobulatimg moment when I arrived in Vietnam for my gap year and I first truly realised the meaning of maps. Seeing a non-UK centric one for the first time, it looked all wrong. The UK, our little awkward island, wasn't slap bang in the middle, but shoved off to the side somewhere. Instead, there was a confluence of Asian countries in the centre. The world looked mistaken. It simply didn't look like this in my head, but then for a Vietnamese teenager, they'd likely think the same of my school maps.
That memory is one of disturbingly few that I can clearly recall from the year as I lived and worked in a foreign land for the first time; it was, after all, the time that the world was turned, if not upside-down, then at least back-to-front.
To the traveller in 2018, maps still matter despite our conception and use of them having evolved wholesale. We now mark our footsteps around the world in dropped digital pins and stars and, on a hike or a road trip, it's our GPS and Google Maps which shows us the way, rather than a dog-eared and ink-stained one in our backpacks.
But a map is still what reveals the world to us and helps us take tentative footsteps across it; it's still the thing that can lead us safely home.
You want to say “I have traveled. I have seen. I have lived well.
A start-up company called Bold Tuesday got in touch with us to talk about their new approach to reset the connection between modern day explorers and non-digital maps. With their creative, minimalist maps and travel posters, they want to help travellers keep track of every place and country they've visited, and remind yourself of all you have seen (and will see), away from our digital screens.
They asked if we liked their work and now, (unsurprisingly) two of their maps now hang in our flat, one in the living room and one in the bedroom.
We'd never seen maps like theirs, which represent the world beautifully and creatively, yet look absolutely nothing like we'd conceive of when we think of a map.
If you're a creative sort, then you can personalise them to track your own footprints across the globe. The 'Find It' one presents 196 countries (yep, we didn't believe it either but then Emily's stubborn so made us sit for an hour and a half with gallon cups of tea counting) in a word-search format, and the idea is that you shade out those you've visited. On the absolutely beautiful 'List' one , which places countries in order of size, you can also customise it with the included tiny red dot stickers (but we kind of like it as it is).
An Exclusive Offer for You
**OFFER EXPIRED
As we really like their maps, we've teamed up with Bold Tuesday to give Along Dusty Roads readers looking for some travel-related art of their own an exclusive 20% discount. The first 10 purchases from their website using the code 'ALONGDUSTYROADS' will receive the discount.
They have a number of other cool maps available, or you can go straight to the ones we chose if you prefer: The Find It Map | The List Of Countries Poster .

North-america, middle east, the instagram page of the week: along dusty roads (@alongdustyroads), photography, travel tips, where to stay, suitcase stories, digital nomad, during our hunt of finding the best instagram pages for travelers, we found an interesting page. run by a couple, this page displays a great sense of filters and themes that makes their images stand out. along dusty roads is the perfect blend of travel, freedom, and making a good living out of it..
Let's have a look at Along Dusty Roads best work because we found out their travel blog and Instagram are really good!
Andrew and Emily, the couple that started this page, had this idea around a kitchen table in a rented apartment in East London. They decided that they had put their dreams on hold for too long. Therefore, 12 months later, they saved enough money to quit their jobs in the UK and arrived in Mexico.
With overstuffed backpacks, a couple of cameras, and a strict budget, Andrew and Emily traveled Latin America for two years in total. They quickly realized that travel is what makes them feel the most alive and free, and hence, they decided to start the blog Along Dusty Roads.
And we absolutely love the esthetic of this blog. The writing is also very dreamy… we love their style in general!
Instagram + Blog
Along Dusty Roads was created in the hopes of helping people to gain enough information and inspiration so that they can feel the same freedom too. These award-winning British bloggers were very successful in their goals and they quickly rose to fame. Their Instagram page has 60k+ followers .
