Do you mean, to where should you fly in? I'd look at Toulouse and Bordeaux.

I recommend flying into Bordeaux too.
I would also strongly recommend renting a car, in order to really make the most of the region.

Don't rule out Toulouse, especially if you might spend the night there before renting your car. It's a fascinating old city, great for strolling.

Not much info to go on. But I would fly into Bordeaux, rent a car drive east for 2 hours and you should be near Sarlat.

Thanks all. Has anyone tried the newest airport at Brives/Vallee de la Dordogne? If so, what was your starting point? Are there rental car agencies there? Is it a better (shorter, prettier) drive from that airport to the heart of the Dordogne region around Sarlat?

Stella, I do not know that airport, but the location is very good. The question would be can you get a flight to there the day you want, and at what price?
