We currently live in Germany, but thought I would share our itinerary with you to get ideas.
We are leaving in early April and traveling by train. Traveling with two kids ages 3 and 13.
Day 1-4: Paris. We will arrive in Paris mid-day on day one, have two full days and then leave mid day on day 4 for Nice.
Day 5-9: French Riviera. We will have arrived to Nice on day 4, so we plan on a day in Monaco, a day in Ventimiglia ( is this even worth it) and two days in Nice. We will leave for florence on day 9
Day 10-13: Florence/Tuscany. I could add a day, but would to get home earlier. Would one day in Pisa (I realize this is a half day trip for the most part, but we will be based in Florence and travel by train...with a toddler) One day in Siena and one day in Florence be enough or do we NEED 2 days in Florence. We will travel home on day 13.
Re: Paris-Nice-Florence
We have drive instead of do the train, it was going to save us ime on some legs but waste lots on others.
so, we will leave Paris early on day 4 and sop a few times along the way....it is goingto be an all day trip, but fun nonetheless.
&nb
If you had an extra half day, I would say you could do Florence in a day and a half. I mean, you ar egoing to miss things that include huge lines (like: the David), but oyu can def. get to the duomo, walk over hte Ponte Vecchio. Have lunch someplace ou
