We (my older daughter, my mother and I) booked flights for a trip to France next spring - so exciting!!! Mom and I are staying for 3 wks, with my daughter joining us for 2 wks. We're flying into Marseilles and home from Lyon. (The flights were too good to pass up so we booked them first and now we'll do our research!)
Our very early thoughts are something like this:
- arrive in Marseilles and pick up our rental car
- spend 2-4 days in .... (Arles? Aix? _________?)
- rent a gite in Languedoc-Roussillon (Aude?) for a week. (I've been googling Cathar castles all day and starring them in my google maps...can't wait to see some of them in person!)
- head up to Lyon for 1-3 days (daughter flies home)
- rent a gite in ....(the Ardeche? the Rhone valley?) for a week or so.
- mom and I fly home from Lyon
These ideas could all change entirely by the time April rolls around...this just gives us a starting point for our planning.
I'm curious what are YOUR favourite things to see and do in this general area?
