Wow.  Lucky you - it is a great part of the world to visit.  I've not  
yet had chance to ride bikes in that part of France, so can't advise  
on roads.  But if you are so inclined, I would recommend you visit  
Cognac (there are tours of the Cognac houses that are well worth  
doing), and St Emilion (follow the Gironde to Bordeaux, and on - it  
is just by Libourne) - a quite amazing town that is left-over  
somewhat unchanged from the 100 years war, with really pretty  
architecture and a huge 'underground' cathedral.  In both places the  
wine is quite good too... (if you like that sort of thing).
