France Suggestions
Hi ladies, DH & I are thinking of taking a trip to France for 10 days in the early fall this year. I know we'd need to go Paris but I would love to hear any other suggestions of where to go. We are pretty open to anything but love checking out beautiful places, finding good food & not finding your average tourist spots. Thank you so much!

Re: France Suggestions
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

My Travel Blog
I spent 4.5 weeks in France a few years ago. I flew into Paris and then did a circle of the country starting in Normandy, going through Brittany, the Loire Valley, Dordogne, Provence, French Riviera, Lyon, the French Alps, Burgundy, Alsace, Champagne, and then ended the trip with three days in Paris (I had been three 2 times previously).
Of the areas I visited, my favorites are Normandy, the Dordogne, Provence, and Alsace.
For someone's first trip to France having ten days (assuming you travel in September), I would probably spend 3 in Paris, 3 in Normandy, 2 in the Loire, and 2 in Burgundy. Or, you could do 3 in Paris, 2 in the Loire OR Burgundy, and then spend the rest of the five days in Provence/Riviera. It just depends on what your interests are.
If you really want to get off the beaten track though, then I would recommend the Dordogne. This area of France is incredibely beautiful and unique. The villages in this area are my favorite and there are so many activites to partake in (canoeing, visiting the pre-historic caves, exploring villages, etc). I actually didn't run into any Americans during my visit to the Dordogne; it tends to be visited by French and Europeans.
