If you wish Giverny - Rouen You should add this place as a leg of your car tour during the rest of your trip. If you want to visit for a day Deauville and Trouville'to by train Going and returning in one day will be enough. There's lots to do afterwards. So, if you have time and opportunity, I suggest you go by car, if you are not going back to Paris, read the program for the next day 😉 If you want to travel by train, you can buy your train tickets online. TCDD of France one SNCFFrom the official website of that already has a high-level character.
Driving in Paris As I mentioned in my article, I do not recommend driving in Paris, but The most enjoyable way is to set out by car to see these beautiful places around Paris.. When you rent a car Be sure to choose a vehicle with GPS or have a GPS with you.. Because the roads are so complicated that you wouldn't believe it :) If you have an international internet package, using the map application you are used to on your mobile phone will be a life saver.
– Day Ten:
Deauville and TrouvilleIf you stayed one night in , you can check the schedule of the ninth day. two gorgeous fishing village We add: The first is the nearby Honfleur, the second one Normandy Bridgepassing through Le HavreWe will reach by continuing without stopping at Etretat. They are both beautiful. It may not be wise to come here from Paris for a day, but Deauville and Trouville If the trip will be extended, it should definitely be added.
– Day Eleven:
Since we've taken the risk of getting away for a while, then I definitely recommend it to you. One of the places you must see the one which, in france Eiffel TowerMost visited after magnificent monastery island The Mont Saint Michel. Those who have time are on the road Normandy Landingwas made Omaha BeachThey can also see... Again on the road Caen There is a big city called but frankly I don't want to visit that place either. RennesI didn't like it very much either, so the next day's itinerary was Saint Malo Must be.
– Day Twelfth:
Saint Malo, The Mont Saint Michelvery close to, A magnificent coastal city surrounded by historical walls. in the immediate vicinity Dinan ve Dinard There are also two beautiful towns named. I think it would be useful to see those places while you're here; You will not regret. There are many more places to see on the way, but I won't confuse you any further :)
– Day Thirteen:
Maybe you can spend one day in a place about two hours away from Paris. AmiensYou may want to spend it in . AmiensWhy do I love ? Before anything else House of Jules Vernes It's here and it's a very nice museum. This city also has a magnificent cathedral. I think those who want to do something different and see beautiful things should visit. Or if you wish, your last three days Brüksel, Bruges ve Amsterdam You can allocate it to your program, you know. French Riviera to the side, Nice ve Cannes You can also go down to , for three days, there are still many places to go, I wouldn't interfere :)
– Day Fourteen:
Unless we went off the road and went to other places in France, it's our penultimate day. calm sepenek Let's spend it in Paris, let's remember together what a beautiful capital of a beautiful country it is. today Montmartre HillPassing through the little-known backsides of trace of Dalida while following in the middle of the city VineyardsYou can discover, Saint Martin Canalstarting walking from La Villette basinpassing by Parc de la Villettecan walk up toyou are. if the weather is nice Seine River on you swimming pool Josephine Baker PoolYou can sunbathe in or go to a completely different dimension Grand Mosque of Paris – Grande Mosquée de ParisVisiting the cafe in its garden Mint Tea Break You can give. Balzac's Houseof, House of Eugène Delacroixof, Rodin's House in MeudonYou can visit . It is also one of the magnificent museums. Marmottan-Monet Museum There are things you should not skip. with wine culture if you are interested Musée du Vin – Wine Museum There are… I mean, there are so many things…
– Day Fifteen:
Two weeks passed in a flash. Today is your last day in Paris, but don't worry, you will come again. Maybe you couldn't do some of the things on this list, you still remember them, maybe you will add new places to your list. To spend your last day calmly, consider walking around your hotel or Opera, Grands Boulevards, Boulevard Saint Germain, Saint michel like your memories of Paris polish off I will suggest. Or after you want to travel Air and Space Museum, Saint Cloud Park, Sceaux Park, Malmaison Castle, old cold storage new contemporary art center Les Frigos There are a ton of places worth visiting such as. Now for next time…
As you can see, we haven't had the opportunity to go to other cities yet. Apart from the things I mentioned above, I have lived in France so far. Nice, Cannes , Monaco, Eze Village, Saint Paul de Vence, Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Grasse, Antibes, Menton, Toulon, Saint Tropez , Montpellier, Saint Cyprien, Perpignan, Colloure, Hyères, Nantes, Strasbourg, Colmar, Lille, Reimse, Nancy, Dijon, Besançon, Blois, Mulhouse, Annecy, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, La Rochelle, Limoges, Orléans, Tour, Amboise, Le Havre, Brest, Rennes, Carcassone, Quimper, Biarritz, Bayonne, Saint Jean de Luz I can say that I have seen many places (some of them several times). I can say that all of them, except Le Havre, Brest and Marseille, are magnificent places worth seeing. Since Le Havre and Brest were heavily damaged in the Second World War and rebuilt, they could not preserve their original architecture, so they are not very beautiful cities, but this is not the reason why I recommend Marseille. Marseille's historical center and marina are wonderful, but the population is so immigrant-dominated that you feel like you are in a city on the coast of Tunisia or Libya, rather than in France. As I said, all the others are wonderful…
As you noticed, these cities are not yet included in this fifteen-day program. For that reason "We're coming to Paris for a week, in between Brussels, Bruges, Amsterdam We also want to see places like this, what would you recommend?I specifically request you not to ask. Because there are so many places to see in Paris and its surroundings, I seriously cannot decide which one should be priority since all the cities you will list will be at least as beautiful.
Same way While you are creating a tour program for yourself from the places I have listed above, send me your new list and say “has it happened?" will be one of the questions I will have to leave unanswered. Because I can't know you and your priorities; Since I cannot predict your mobility, tastes and budget, it would not be appropriate for me to approve a tour program on your behalf. I completely recommend this program.Have been to Paris before and now different places What is there to see in Paris and its surroundings for those who want to see it?"I prepared it to give you an idea. I hope it will shed light on your upcoming trips. You can find my different tour suggestions for those who will come to Paris for a shorter time and/or for the first time, from the list below.
Don't worry, you will visit Paris more often...
Pleasant trips, pleasant discoveries…

Have a nice Sunday, Mr. Ahmet,
When our daughter came to Paris for her university education in 2013, we stepped into this city, which we had never had the opportunity to visit as a tourist before. After the initial awkwardness and the rush of settling in, we started visiting both our daughter and Paris almost 2-3 times a year. Of course, I come more often. I am writing this e-mail specifically to thank you. Thanks to you and my cousin, who has lived here since the age of 11 and is interested in art, I had alternative trips to Paris. Well, of course, I also humbly add my curiosity and my research on where and what events are going on before I arrive. But especially when it comes to what we should do and where we should see tomorrow, your page has become a perfect guide and it is happening. You have never been misleading in terms of both the details and the things we encountered when we went, and you have made our travels extremely enjoyable. I feel myself lucky ; For the moments when we were able to open different windows in Paris and be not a tourist but a living here... I wish you success in your continued work and thank you.
Kindly regards,
Nur dustkoparan
Hello Ms. Nur,
Your beautiful comment made me feel so good that I can't explain it. Especially lately, I feel extremely tired and I ask myself why I tire myself so much. Then I receive such a nice comment and all my tiredness disappears.
Thank you very, very much…
