Save

Paris sits at the heart of Grand Paris, a compact, densely populated city of just over two million people packed into a little over a hundred square kilometres. Orléans is a city of medieval resonance and Renaissance elegance on the Loire, a UNESCO World Heritage site that sits at a crossroads between northern and southern France. Rouen is a medieval city in Normandy with a UNESCO World Heritage designation that reflects its architectural and historical significance. Lille is a city of 238,695 people in northern France, designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Why it works

Rather than one city, this threads Paris, Orléans and Rouen and more into a single trip, so you see more of France in one go. Spend longest wherever suits you.
