Thanks for the responses. If it makes any difference, we will be starting our tour in either Souillac or Brive-la-Gaillarde. But I am inclined now to go to Bordeaux for the first two nights.

When you say 8 or 9 days does that mean 7 or 8 nights? To see everything that you want to see, not to mention a day hike and spending a day or two on the coast, you will be spending too much of that...
