If you've read my France Travel Guide, you know I planned this trip with so much care. I tried my best to think of every little detail that might impact our travel - I may have missed a few - but by and large, this was a hugely successful trip. We got to see all of our sights, and spend some time exploring at our own pace.
If you're planning a similar trip, but don't want to decipher the detailed Guide post for the who/what/when while you're planning, have no fear, the full itinerary is posted here!
