We are scheduled for a river cruise in October 2019 from Avignon to Lyon, with tentative plans for three day post cruise in Dijon. After that, we are on our own. I would like to spend another two weeks or so in France. We do plan to go to Paris and rent an apartment for a week. One question is, "Should we stay longer in Burgundy, say base in Beaune for an additional three nights?" We had considered a few days in Normandy and Brittany, but the logistics seem challenging. We do not plan to rent a car. Other suggestions? Need Paris airbnb apartment suggestions, too.

As a background, we have been to Paris several times previously. We have also visited Bordeaux and Loire Valley. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Le Creusot appears to me on the Eurostar route between Lyon and Paris, and also within a modest taxi ride of Beaune. On this basis I'd see Beaune as a viable option.
 
We have tentatively decided to go from Dijon to Bayeux and spend four nights there. We plan to tour D-Day beaches, and surrounding area. St. Malo in Brittany looks a bit too far (off beaten path) so will likely go to Paris for a week after Bayeux.
