I’m teaching myself French. J’ai étudié le français pendant quatre ans when I was younger, but it’s been years. Maintenant, mes enfants want to learn French, so I’m re-learning with them. And just in the last week, we started making plans for a trip to France! Je suis content!
Lol! My wife and I have actually been to Paris before and liked it a lot, but we stayed away from the regular tourist stuff and stuck to the weirder, off-the-beaten-path things you can do in Paris (the catacombs, poking around Roman ruins, etc).
We’re actually considering Versailles because we’ve heard it’s like being in a more relaxed and easy-going Paris, and the gardens appeal to my wife - as in, she’s thiiiiiiis close to simply insisting on it.
But neither of us had considered Lyon or Bordeaux, and I’ll add them to my list. What are they like?

Rules for visiting France -
If you want to visit a city, it’s Lyon or Bordeaux
If you want to visit the countryside, it’s Provence and Haute Savoie
Huge généralisation btw but just… don’t go to Paris
