We are considering a bike trip to this area in early October and then several days in the Sarlat area. Is October a good time to go or would we be better off in September?
Thanks In advance for any advice.
St. Emillion/Bordeaux/Dordogne trip in October?

Do you mean a good time to go weatherwise or another reason?
The weather will be unpredictable but not too cold and the towns won't be too busy with tourists. We went to St Emilion and could hardly move in July! It's harvest time for the grapes so it might be good to check on the local festivals and time your visits accordingly.
I was really focusing mostly on weather, although taking crowds into consideration is a good idea too. thanks
It won't be crowded in either September or October. September can be very hot, though - it certainly was this year!
Is early October normally dry? It is a bike trip so I would not want lots of rain. Thanks
There's more rain in October than in September, normally, but what's "normal" these days?
