In Sept will be celebrating 30 year aniv on a Clipper cruise with 3 other close friends....starting in Athens Greece and doing some small Greek Islands.
Then, after a couple extra days in Athens we are off for Paris, just my wife and I. But since we have 10 days before flying home in Paris...any suggestions for where to take the fast train for a 3 day trip that would be really great?
Bordeaux, Lyon, etc...been planning this part and struggling.
Don't restrict your ideas to France. London, for example, is now easily accessible by train from Paris.
Champage is always nice in the summer. Easy to get to from Paris.
Last spring I went to Beaune for 3 days and had a great time. I also spent
3 days in Bordeaux, but enjoyed Beaune more.1 Why restrict to TGV? 2 Loire Valley (TGV to get to Tours and rent car from there) 3 Normandy (again car is helpful) 3 Lake Annecy 4 Dordogne is very nice this time of year (TGV to Bordeaux rent car or take regional train stop in Bergerac for wine related fun 5 Switzerland, go to Montreux 6 Bruxelles-Ghent-Bruges 7 do something different go to the Ardennes in Belgium
That is only a start.

Indeed it is, Steve, to such an extent that I took the Eurostar from London for a daytrip to Paris. What decadence!

Used to spend to much time in London on business...and, the food is better in France.
