France Itinerary: Where to go in France

Such a great amount to see, so brief period. How to pick? To enable you to begin, we've recorded our top picks for where to go in France, and our arrangement for your best three-week trip.

Contingent upon the length of your excursion, and considering geographic nearness, here are our suggested needs:

3 days: Paris, possibly Versailles

6 days, include: Normandy

8 days, include: Loire

11 days, include: Dordogne, Carcassonne

16 days, include: Provence, Riviera

19 days, include: Burgundy, Chamonix

22 days, include: Alsace, northern France

26 days, include: Basque Country

In the event that you have just a week and it's your first outing to France, do Paris, Normandy, and the Loire.

In the event that you have around 8–10 days, consider a circle connecting Paris, Normandy, and the Loire. Or then again complete a single direction trip, for example, flying into Nice and out of Paris, seeing the Riviera, Provence, the Alps, and Burgundy en route.

For a 10-to 14-day trip that features Paris, Provence, and the Riviera, fly into Paris and out of Nice. In the wake of visiting Paris, take the TGV train to Avignon, lease a vehicle there, and drop it in Nice (or use trains, transports, and minivan visits to get around). This trek additionally functions admirably in turn around.

Voyagers with somewhat more time could include Burgundy as well as the Alps, which are somewhere between Paris and Provence and simple to investigate via vehicle or train.
