Recommendations

Aside from the itinerary, I suggest visiting the Palace of Versailles, the Mont Saint-Michel, and the Palace of the Popes in Avignon. These attractions are easily accessible from Paris, and they offer unique insights into France's history and culture. For a side trip, consider visiting the wine region of Bordeaux and sampling some of the world's best wines. To maximize your fun, I recommend immersing yourself in the local culture by trying traditional foods, attending cultural events, and engaging with the locals.
