hey there. so mil finally got some free time to email me about europe. she didn't go into great detail, but gave some of the cities/towns that they enjoy. any other questions, she'd said she'd be happy to answer.
France. I would guess they would be in Paris, but if they have a choice,
the small towns on the Riviera are wonderful, or any in Provence (southern
France). St. Remy de Provence was where we stayed for 4-5 days on our motorcycle
trip last Oct. Sept should be a beautiful time of year. I guess I should know
more specifically if they plan on Paris, as that would take at least a few days
in itself.
Italy. Again, can they get out into smaller towns or will they be in a
city? Our favorite big city is Florence, for the art, cathedral, streetlife.
Venice is also fascinating, with the canals. Accommodations would be more
expensive as it is an island. Rome is such a huge city, quite hard to
explore in a day or 3. Our favorite is the Lakes area, northwestern Italy, in
particular Bellagio on Lake Como. We spent our 25th anniversary there.
We also love the Cinque Terre area, on the sea, 5 towns hanging to cliffs
connected by hiking paths and train.
Also we love the little villages in Tuscany, we could help with
names.
For Switzerland, I don't know Lugano. We have stayed in Grindelwald, a
small village tucked into the Jungfrau mountains and so picturesque. Again,
we love the small villages, but transportation may be the question.
Trains are great in Switz. We haven't stayed in any of the bigger cities, just
driven through them.
Re: *danigirl* europe ideas
Thanks! We changed things around a bit and DH wants to go to Austria instead of France so we're looking for small village-type places to stay for like 2-3 nights.
We're planning on staying in Venice when we go to Italy but are still open about maybe traveling down to Florence as well. Both are around the same difference from Lugano only one is east and one is south. So if you have any recs on places to stay let me know! And Lugano is right next to Como only on the swiss side So we'll check out Bellagio on Lake Como.
Thanks for the feed back! I really appreciate it. Gives me more to do with my lazy Saturday afternoon
Check out Lake Wolfgangsee and Hallstatt in Austria. I loved it there so much.
