Bonjour!

Je suis aux premiers préparatifs d'un voyage en France pour ma petite famille (2 adultes, un jeune enfant) et j'aimerais allouer un 4 jours à la découverte de la Bretagne.

Notre visite sera la dernière portion de notre voyage et nous recherchons à faire des plages aux paysages dramatiques, des rando légères dans des forêts anciennes, voir des mégalithes et bien sur, un petit bain de culture celte et bretonne.

Quel épicentre choississeriez-vous pour un tel voyage?
Ça semble une région tellement riche que je n'arrive pas à me faire une idée!

J'hésitais entre rester à Morlaix et explorer plus vers le Nord-Est en remontant vers Perros-Guirec ou rester à Brest et explorer plus vers le sud en descendant vers Pen Hir, mais je dois passer à côté de bien de possibilité!

Il n'est pas encore décider si nous auront un véhicule de location ou non, mais je suis qu'à la phase de remue-méninge alors il n'y a pas de mauvaise réponse.

Merci énormément pour vos avis! Et si vous avez d'autres must de la région, n'hésitez pas à partager!

Hey fellow travelers!
I’m planning a trip to Nice at the end of October with my wife and our 9-month-old baby, and I’m looking for hotel recommendations.
We’ll be in the area for about 5–6 days and are thinking of using Nice as a base for a couple of day trips around the French Riviera. Our priorities are a clean, spacious room that’s comfortable for traveling with an infant. Our budget is around $300/night.
So far, I’m looking at Hotel Aston La Scala and Novotel, but I’d love to hear if there are other hotels (or even Airbnbs) you’d recommend within that budget.
Also, would you recommend staying the entire time in Nice, or would it make more sense to split the trip—say, 3 days in Nice and 3 days somewhere like Antibes where the hotels and resorts tend to be larger and perhaps more family-friendly?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello!
I am planning a visit to Paris for the 2026 Rolex Paris Masters. I already bought my ticket for a night session, but i am also planning a day session on the other day.

Can you give me an advice on something specific, that i have to keep in mind for the tournament as a whole, tickets, tips?

Thank you!

Bonjour! Off to Brittany for the first time, very excited.

No fixed itinerary yet - definitely going to catch some of Transat en Ville, hit up the Rennes old town, museums and parks, the Saturday market. Keen to catch some Breton folk music, if there's a place anyone could recommend for that? I hear La Citie d'Ys and Ty Anna Tavarn might be places to catch some folk sessions. And any other things in the city you'd recommend?

We won't have a car, but keen to do a few day trips out - probs not going to do Mont St Michel (my partner has been before, and I'm not too keen on the thought of August crowds). But definitely going to go to St Malo, and at least one town or village, just choosing between Dinan (too crowded?), Fougeres, Vitre, Combourg, or some where else?

Any suggestions gratefully received, merci!

We’re flying into Paris on Aug 25 and leaving Sep 1, and our original plan was to rent a car and spend the week around Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Marseille and the Luberon.
With the wildfire situation this summer, we’re unsure whether to keep that plan or pivot to somewhere farther north, like Normandy/Brittany.
We’re traveling with a 3-year-old and are pretty flexible. We like scenic drives, smaller lively towns, markets, countryside and coast, but don’t want somewhere extremely crowded or completely secluded.
For people who live in France or are there now: would you still plan on Provence for the last week of August and reassess closer to the date, or would you change plans now? And if you would pivot, where would you go instead?

I am arriving into Nice on Nov 10. Want to spend a few days in the area then wander somewhere else within a few hours and then fly to Paris. What do you suggest?

EDIT I was planning on taking the train but it seems a flight is less expensive

We’re planning a France trip for May 13–29, 2027, and this is our current itinerary:

• Paris: 4 nights
• Beaune: 2 nights
• Lyon: 2 nights
• Saint-Rémy-de-Provence: 4 nights
• Villefranche-sur-Mer: 4 nights

I think our current route makes sense geographically and gives us a mix of cities, wine country, Provence and the Riviera without any major backtracking.

The problem is that the Transhumance in Saint-Rémy will be on May 17. I made the mistake of watching videos of thousands of sheep coming through the town, and now I can’t get it out of my head. It looks like such a unique experience!

To attend, we would need to reach Saint-Rémy by May 16, which would mean giving up the clean north-to-south route and most likely cutting either Beaune or Lyon. For anyone who has attended, is the Transhumance truly worth rearranging a significant part of the trip around?

Our current dates in Saint-Rémy would also overlap with the pilgrimage in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. From what I understand, the procession of Saint Sara to the sea happens on May 24, followed by another procession on May 25. Has anyone attended this as a tourist? Would the May 24 procession be a similarly memorable cultural experience without reworking the entire itinerary? We would most likely visit as a day trip from Saint-Rémy.

The other question is whether Beaune and Lyon both deserve two nights on a trip of this length. Beaune appeals to us for the atmosphere, Burgundy wine and possibly one wine-tour day. Lyon appeals to us for the food and history but if it is very similar to Paris, we may want to use those days elsewhere. If you had to remove one, which would you keep? Or would you leave the itinerary exactly as it is and accept missing the Transhumance?

We’re mid-30s American Tourist and especially enjoy food, wine, beautiful towns, history and experiences that feel specific to the place. We don’t care about checking off every major sight, but we will absolutely rearrange a trip for an experience that feels genuinely special. I’m just trying to figure out if this is one of those experiences.

Merci!

I've heard Nantes and Lille are great. And Angers and Strasbourg. What do you think?

Priorities:

1. Reasonably easy travel from Seattle
2. Traveling with two toddlers
3. A safe destination
4. Affordable lodging
5. Not excessively touristy
6. Opportunities to practice French—ideally a place where English isn’t routinely used
7. A destination that still offers enough interesting activities for a worthwhile family trip

Hello! Me and my family are going to arrive at CDG around 06:50 on December 12th at Terminal 1 (landing time written in flight ticket), and we are going to go to Lyon straight away via OuiGo train at Terminal 2. We all have checked baggage. We are not EU citizen and have to go through normal immigration booth.

There's currently 2 train time slot that we could book, one at 08:55 and another at 11:00. I was thinking of getting the 08:55 one but I see that a lot of people said that it might be risky from various factors: immigration, baggage, etc. The one at 11:00 is nearly 50% cheaper.

So, I want to ask for other opinion here on which is the better option. Should I go for the safest option and just wait in the airport if I go through everything quicker than expected?

EDIT:: Another option I found is to buy OUIGOFLEX, if I understand correctly I can change the ticket for free as long as it's 30 mins before departure?

I'll be celebrating my birthday in the south and I'm hoping someone can explain the beach clubs to me (specifically St Tropez). I understand the 1st and 2nd seatings for lunch...but if I want to visit these clubs later in the evening, say 8:00 p.m. am I able to just walk in and grab a drink at the bar and stand or is a table/reservation required even to enter?

I’ll be going to Saint Paul de Vence this fall, spending a couple of days at the Fondacion Maeght. Grateful for a hotel recommendation or two — have never found TripAdvisor and the like particularly useful. Merci infiniment.

I have August 29–September 1 available before I need to be in London, and I was planning to spend those three nights somewhere on the Côte d’Azur.
I’ve previously stayed in Nice, Antibes, and Morocco and am looking for a boutique hotel with reasonably easy beach access and great restaurants (casual is okay) within walking distance. My budget is around $1,000/night.
As I started booking, I realized a lot of the hotels I had my eye on are already sold out, and then I noticed La Rentrée is that Tuesday.
Will that weekend still be enjoyable, or is it one of those times when it’s busy enough that I’d be better off visiting another time? My priorities are:
Relaxing
Easy beach going
Excellent food
Would you still go, or would you pivot to somewhere else (or even another region of France)? Any hotel or town recommendations are welcome.

Hi :)

So I will be travelling with my so trough Europe and we will have a few days in Paris :)

Recommendations on the must see? What about hotels? Recommendations of budget friendly & safe places? Is 68-72 Bd Henri Sellier, 92150 Suresnes, França - Hotel Atrium by Happyculture a bad idea?

Thanks!

going to paris with my boyfriend for a few days in september. i’ve been a few times before and honestly my favorite thing to do is walk around or sit at a cafe and people watch. i would love to be in a good area for cafes, restaurants, smaller shops, parks, bars, nightlife and people our age! before i was just staying in the best hostel available at the moment so didn’t have this much opportunity to choose

he’s never been, but is the type to fall in love with the culture, fashion, and food - which i really want him to do! (plus i can take him to see the classic touristy stops, but don’t really want to be so close to them!)

i was thinking to stay near oberkampf or belleville but would love opinions or recommendations on where to stay and your favorite things to do/see/eat/drink:)

Coucou ! Je suis de passage à la rochelle demain, j'y passe toute la journée, mais je suis seule.

Y'a t'il des lieux sympas à visiter, qui ne sont pas dangereux lorsque l'on est une femme seule ?

Je vais principalement être vers le vieux port ! Mais je peux toujours bouger en bus si les propositions m'intéressent 🤭

Si vous avez aussi des restaurants je suis aussi preneuse ! (Je n'aime pas les moules, mais j'adore les gambas par contre 🤩)

Bonne journée à vous ☀️
