How we plan it
- Paris stays with day trips to Versailles, Giverny and Champagne.
- Seine river cruises through Normandy — Rouen, Honfleur, the D-Day beaches.
- Rhône river cruises from Lyon through Provence — Avignon, Arles, Tournon.
- Bordeaux river cruises for serious wine travelers.
Best time to go
May, June, September and early October offer the best balance of weather and crowds. Christmas-market itineraries on the Rhine touch Strasbourg, technically Alsace but unmistakably French.
