Cheeses and cheese makers near Bordeaux, Toulouse, Cahors in southern France?

Does anyone know the cheeses of this region and any makers in particular worth visiting? I'm heading south of Bergerac soon for a couple of weeks cheese making at a goats milk dairy (yippee). It wasn't easy to organise though and I don't actually know a lot about the cheeses of the region - does anyone here? I'll have a car for a few days after so want to tour around and possibly visit other makers to learn all I can or at least eat lots of great cheese  Any tips and suggestions on who, what and where would be really wonderful.  Thanks so much.

Hope this is a helpful start for you.
