I'm teaching myself French. J'ai étudié le français pendant quatre ans when I was younger, but it's been years. Maintenant, mes enfants want to learn French, so I'm re-learning with them. And just in the last week, we started making plans for a trip to France! Je suis content!
Rules for visiting France -
If you want to visit a city, it's Lyon or Bordeaux
If you want to visit the countryside, it's Provence and Haute Savoie
Huge généralisation btw but just... don't go to Paris
Lol! My wife and I have actually been to Paris before and liked it a lot, but we stayed away from the regular tourist stuff and stuck to the weirder, off-the-beaten-path things you can do in Paris (the catacombs, poking around Roman ruins, etc).
We're actually considering Versailles because we've heard it's like being in a more relaxed and easy-going Paris, and the gardens appeal to my wife - as in, she's thiiiiiiis close to simply insisting on it.
But neither of us had considered Lyon or Bordeaux, and I'll add them to my list. What are they like?
