    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

      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?
