Calling all Francophiles

We are planning a trip to France and we want your input!

Do you have any knowledge of Bordeaux or the Dordogne/Perigord region? Have any favorite spots in Paris we should check out? Any good books to add to our reading list? Can you suggest a vineyard? A chateau? A beautiful drive/hike? A cheese to seek out? A good restaurant? Places to avoid?

Here's what we're thinking: (*denotes UNESCO World Heritage Site)
