The south!!! The basque country is beautiful (Biaritz, Bayonne).
If you like good food, I recommend following a map of "Relais et Chateaux" (not always expensive, especially in the south)
Please, you don't have to go eat escargots and frogs! This is not typical french food and it's disgusting...

There still should be cheap buses between Barcelona and Montpellier, and Aix-en-Provence - two gorgeous cities in the very south of France - dream places - Lyon is also a beautiful city, and food +wines there are among the best in the world - even small bistros propose "day dishes " plats du jour, which you can order with a glass of beaujolais - yummiiiee and baguette à volonté - But it's further - considered your HQ Barcelona Don't ever go to Marseilles, Narbonne, Carcassone Nice is very far from Barcelona - very expensive - and much pro and contra Sorry people but you should speak about things such as they are realizable - spanish trains cannot go on european standard railways - if you're in Barcelona you cannot have ANY train going to Toulouse - but you very easily can go with the french TGV-train * or cheap buses between Montpellier and Aix en Provence + maybe Avignon t- Toulouse is a horror compared to those jewel-cities * because french settled european TGV standard railways especially on the line gong from Barcelona to Montpellier Avignon and Lyon - still want a spoonful ?

I would recommend La Rochelle. It's a small city on the West coast. I used to live there for 3 years, it's not too small so you don't get bored. The long streets for pedestians only are beautiful and you get a mix of history and cool shopping at the same time. In the evening a terasse from one of the numerous restaurants is just the best way to enjoy the end of a long pleasant day. Not the mention the biggest European Aquarium, nice beaches and small islands easily accessible by boat from the port in downtown.

Aix en Provence is a good choice. Its an ancient city founded in 122 BC which is a University town these days. It has about 300 sunny days a year and the weather tends to be mild.
You can get there easily by train from Paris.

Reims is beautiful. Reims is where all champagnes are made. A champagne must be produced in this area in order to be called champagne. You can get a tour and tasting of many champagne houses - it is so much fun. The best hotel there is the Best Western Hotel de la Paix - only about 100 euros per night.

It's quite far from Paris, but this summer we went to the Massif Centrale and Perignon (sp). We saw some stone-age caves (Lascaux II-which isn't really stone-age--and Fonts de Gaume were very cool). Great food too!
