Paris slowly, then somewhere green. Provence in June, or the Basque coast if you want fewer people.
When to go
May, June and September. August empties the cities and fills the coast.
How long
Five to ten days. Two bases at most, trains between them.
What our designers tell first-timers
- Book the TGV early; fares move like flights
- One neighbourhood per day in Paris beats a checklist
- A car is only worth it outside the cities
