Lovely area but really badly signed airport- took us 30 minutes driving round the airport and getting stuck in a pay and display car park as the car hire is fenced off and not sign posted how to get to it until you arrive at the entrance

Bordeaux is a bit tricky to get out of at peak times, but keep with it, and there is some lovely countryside
