Bonjour, and Joyeux Noel
DH and I have had much discussion about where we are going next year for our big trip... we both really feel like there is so much to see in France, and that we only scratched the surface this year... so we are returning...
We are thinking either late April- early May - or late September or early October... Thoughts on this time of year... Weather? Are there planned Strikes, I could not find anything for in the fall, suggestion on where to look. Crowds? Holidays?
9 nights, and a travel day on each end - we more than likely will stay where we stay last year about a block from the Arc de Triomphe, we love this area... We would like to use Paris as a home base...
Things that we want to revisit and new destination to check out.
Versailles - we did a half day, and it wasn't enough time we did not get to see the gardens, or Little Trianon and I want to walk in the Hall of Mirrors again...... so we want a full day this time to see everything.
Normandy - I know this is a long day trip, but it is important to visit... Any suggestion on a tour company...
The Chateau / Du Vin region - or suggestion of something different, some friends spent the day at a working farm and winery... with a wonderful lunch in the vineyard...so any thought on this or something similar?
Another day trip... Suggestions? please...
We want to revisit - The Louvre - we did get to see the Mona Lisa.. but only covered around a third of it... wanting to see the rest..
Dinner at the Eiffel tower for sure...
Possible a day visit to DLP - but not sure if we will have time for it...
So what are some other suggestions, tours, sights, food, we are very open to try things...
Merci...
