Village Breaks

Please advise on a nice town/village north of Bordeaux but not as far as Poitiers?

Hello, I am arranging a road trip through France for my husband & dad and it is driving me mad! Please can anyone advise on a nice town/village north of Bordeaux but not as far as Poitiers. If you can help with a great hotel too that would be great! They are driving a minibus and I cant find any hotels with parking either!

Any advice gratefully received
