Bonjour mon ami!
That is about the maximum of my French language skills. Why on Earth did I listen to practical people who told me to take HS Spanish because it was more useful in the US when I really really prefer French? I mean, I struggled through Villette and had to guess through 1/3 of it because of the author's propensity to pepper in French conversations. Good thing it is not too late to learn because we shall soon be en route to Paris!
The only problem is that we can't decide exactly where to go. We only have 9 precious days because of our conflicting schedules. With just 9 days...should we spend the entire time in Paris and really soak it up? 8 days will be enough time thoroughly enjoy the tourist attractions AND get off the beaten path a bit. There is this little flat that I am thinking of renting...it is in a great area and looks like the little apartment in Ratatouille! We'd be able to really relax and it would be the easiest trip. We'd probably go to Versailles for a day too.
Another idea is to split up the trip a bit...5 nights in Paris and 3 nights in Northern France. A derivative of that itinerary is 4 nights Paris, 2 nights in London, and 2 days in Northern France, and then followed by a train ride back to Paris for our flight home.
The last idea is to fly into Paris and head south. We'd spend 5 nights in Paris, take a 4 hour train ride south to Nice, and spend 3 nights in the south of France. Since Monaco is so close, we'd probably take a day trip there too. The downside is that we'd need to take another 4 hour ride back to Paris to depart. Quite a bit of time will be spent traveling but I don't think we'll go back to France anytime soon so should we just go for it?
