Not to hijack a thread, but what does lemmy consider the BEST place in France? I'd like suggestions.

Please don't hate me: Paris, really.

the south, I'm told.

Toulouse is a pretty laid back larger city that is beautiful without being overly touristy

If you want to stay in Germany and hop across the border, Strasbourg and Colmar are both nice towns. Has German influence but you get the benefits of being near the black forest for a 2 for 1 trip.

Most places in the south

Lyon. 3rd sized city. Best food of France. 2 rivers. centre of France so close to anything. should have been the capital of France if the kid of one king didn't die there for some reason, or whatever

Lyon is pretty great. Depending on the vibe you're going for, Marseille is also pretty awesome. I'd avoid it in the middle of the summer, but shoulder season down south is amazing. The weather is great, the people are friendly (if you avoid the worst parts of town, like anywhere) and the food is a nice mix of traditional French and Mediterranean cuisine. And make sure to get a flight of Ricard.

La Rochelle, Nantes are both nice from my experience.
