Where should I go in France?

Question

I have the opportunity to go to France for two months. I don't speak French. What city would you recommend. I'm young I love the beach, shopping, meeting new people, and cities where there is something to do day/night. Where should I go? Paris, Marseilles, Nice, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Lyon, Versailles, Antibes, Cannes, Toulouse, Dijon, Brest, Lille, Monaco, Perpignan, St. Jean de Luz, Hossegor, Canet, St. Tropez, Aix-en-Provence, Chamonix, Monte Carlo?? Other cities?

Answer 1

hi
i advise you toulouse!
my town! but i live in paris.
you should stay in paris for 3 days.
then go straight to the south
toulouse is nice, an old and pretty town, very lively with a lot of students. The area is very nice also, don't miss the carcassonne castle, you will learn about the cathare history and further in the land, you will discover very nice vineyards, as pretty as toscane with lots of medieval castles.
saint jean de luz is wonderful, once you"re there, go to biarritz, the atlantic coast is gorgious.
mediterannée? try montpellier, and all the more touristic towns if you want like st tropez (i don't adive you cannes at all, it's ugly)
if tou go to france around christams then go to the north east in towns like strasbourg, the Xmas markets are really nice

Answer 2

I would go to Versaille, Notre Dame, The Louvre for sure and a few select places in Paris, you'll feel like you missed out if you don't. If you're looking for beach and better people definately head south. I would start in Marseilles (which is one of my favorite places in the world) and then do the French Riviera. Its beautiful, full of beaches and fun things. Go to Cannes, check out the film festival stuff, its cool. End up in Monte Carlo. All of those places have good shopping as well. Also if you're already in the south, might as well drive 2 more hours south to Barcelona and experience that. You'll stay up all night and have stories for sure. Okay wrapping it up, go to Mango for shopping, its not so expensive as most anywhere else and you can find really cute stuff.

Answer 3

i've been in strassbourg once and i loved the city. it's far from the beach, but it's near germany and switzerland, and there is a thing in that region that allows you to pay very few for train tickets inside certain limits, so you can visit the other countried on free time without spending too much. i was living in freiburg, in the german side, and that's how i went to strassbourg and colmar in france and bassel in switzerland, paying less than 10 euros for each trip. the cities on the area are kind of small, in a countryside way, but they are lovely, and they have all that architecture and history, without lacking on the fun side (freiburg at least had great clubs and a different party every night, plus movie theaters, theater, concerts...)

Answer 4

Go to Nice,it's beautiful and the beaches are terrific, also Monti Carlo. Paris is interesting but overcrowded and not very clean, regardless of where you go in France you will just LOVE the food.

Answer 5

You should go to Antibes !!! definitely antibes, it is a nice city plus if you feel alone some time you will meet a bunch of english and irish having fun :)
