Would someone suggest a location in the countryside of France close to Paris that's extra beautiful?

Which is better: the city of France (Paris) or the countryside?

• 4 nights in France? Where to go? By the time I go I will have already seen Paris twice, but the companion I'll have with me will have never gone there, and the Eiffel tower is ...show more

• Answer:

  The north and south of France are very different places.. if you don't want to go to Paris you should try some cities down south which are very nice! Lyon is a very beautiful city, or further down to the south coast you can go to somewhere like Marseille, Perpignon or Biaritz! Weather is usually very good, and the people from the South of France are very friendly too! If you are looking for somewhere closer to Paris, you could try going north to Lille if you wish to experience a smaller French city. From Lille it is a very short trip into Belgium, and places like Brugge, Ghent and Brussels are so pretty! There is however more to see in Paris than just the Eiffel Tower! You have places like Arc de Triomphe, Avenue des Champs-Élysées, La Louvre, Notre Dame, Sorbonne, Sacre-Coeur, and more. It really all depends on what you want to do and see, France is a very large place, however, 4 days in Paris would kill me as I'm not a fan of the city myself ;)
