Driving 23 cities, 3000 Kilometeres in France
I few years back I got married and we decided to visit europe, after returning we made up our minds about going back and driving through France and I must say the experience was awesome!
Not only it is very safe to drive there but it also allowed us to change plans at any time, drive through a city and then drive through the night to find unexplored places, all the locals were very friendly (my wife is french so that helped) so we got a chance to visit the not so known places around france.
If you are visiting and have any questions let me know!
Some of the cities we visited:
Bordeaux
Dune du Pilat (forest and sea divided by a dune, awesome!)
Saint-Émilion (Wine anyone?)
Rocamadour (It felt like a knights movie!)
Grottes de lacave (Into de depths of france!)
Périgueux (nice city to walk around and have spectacular views!)
Bourdeilles (One of the greatest findings we had!)
Montmoreau-Saint-Cybard
Cognac (the name says it all!)
Oléron (beautiful island with amazing food!)
Fort Boyard (didn't visit but we saw it!)
La Rochelle
Marais poitevin, Coulon
Chauvigny
Saint-Savin (Amazing place)
Bourges (Huge cathedral!!)
Orléans (interested in Jean of arc? This is the place!)
Château de Chambord
Chateau de Chenonceau (It has a maze!! It was closed T-T)
Château Royal de Blois
Mont Saint-Michel (Huge and beautiful, on top of a mountain, did I mention the sea?)
Saint-Nazaire (Best place to explore! A lot of culture all around!)
Saint-Malo (fortress in the sea)

How to buy a property in south west France with Allez Francais - video
If you want to know more about how to buy a property in south west France please also visit - not only to view a range of well illustrated properties - but also for lots of advice and tips too.
Established in 2002, we take time to understand what you are looking for and can offer you the best selection of properties in south west France - your search starts and ends here. We have all styles of properties from mills, Maisons Bourgeoises, Logis, Fermettes / Farmhouses to Châteaux and houses on golf resorts. Visit our website and contact us now. We will help you find your dream home.
Video transcipt: You know where the climate is sunnier, the pace relaxed, the roads uncrowded, the air fresh, the landscape unspoiled, the markets mouth-watering; where every turning leads into history; where morning brings the smell of fresh coffee and baking, and evening the lights and laughter of outdoor cafes.
But let’s not dwell on the dream; let’s make it simple to dwell in the glorious countryside of South West France.
Perhaps for holidays, perhaps to live in and generate income, perhaps for retirement. No one is better able to deliver that dream home with greater ease, affordability and personal attention than Allez Francais.
Our unique French property agency was set up in 2002 to save buyers the frustrations and wasted time our founders Peter and Bridget Elias suffered taking the conventional estate agent route to own their home.
You don’t have to wade through portfolios in a French office. Our internet shop window displays numerous choices: cottages, farmhouses, townhouses, manors, chateaux, apartments and properties at golf resorts - most ready to move into.
Click on any property to open up a complete photo gallery with floor plan and realistic, readable description.
You can refine your search according to the area that attracts you most – Dordogne, Poitou Charentes or Gascony - each with its distinctive character, cuisine and culture - and each with its own 'Allez Francais' expert.
We each know our territory having all lived here, on average, for over ten years.
We won’t ever try and sell you a property. Instead, we get to know you, your wishes and your budget and help you draw up a shortlist of properties tailored to your needs.
There’s always an airport handy: Limoges, Brive, Bergerac, Bordeaux, Poitiers, La Rochelle, Rodez, Toulouse.
Or the TGV can connect key centres to Paris or Charles de Gaulle.
Now for your viewing day – when the Allez Francais personal approach really makes a difference. First of all, we’ll meet you, not at an estate agent’s office but convenient to your point of arrival.
We ideally like to spend a whole day - or preferably two – with you introducing you to four or five properties and their vendors.
You won’t be rushed and you won’t be pressured. We’ll answer as many of your questions as we can – using our local knowledge.
When you fall for a property, we’ll piece all the essential bits together to painlessly progress the sale, making use of the connections we have built up – our selected business partners.
This includes financial matters such as obtaining preferential or near market currency rates, arranging mortgages and/or insurance, and any advice needed from architects or surveyors.
Critically we’ll liaise with a notaire (solicitor) - preferably English speaking – to tie up all the legalities to smoothly complete the sale.
You do the dreaming;
we’ll do the delivery. Allez Francais.
