With GPS navigation and route memory, you have the option to go off the beaten track and the freedom to make detours.

    Along the way, take in views of the fortified town of Creon, La Sauve-Majeure Abbey, and the banks of the Dordogne before arriving in Saint-Emilion and its renowned vineyards, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site since 1999.

      The cabriolet was like a dune buggy. Lots of fun! Handled well on the French country roads and was easy to park. However it was difficult for my wife to drive as the pedals did not adjust well for her height 5'4. The GPS had a few issues and had to be rebooted but the owner was able to send messages and get us back on track. It was a very fun day and I would give it 4 1/2 stars but I can't figure out how to get the 1/2 star in there
