Taking my mother on a well-deserved trip to Paris in the spring. Wanting to start planning now! Any recommendations on what to eat, where to shop, what to see?

Any french towns apart from Paris that are magical? - Sarah W

i haven’t been (hopefully soon tho!) but my old boss from a french themed cafe i used to work at has family in Collioure in the South of France and wow, all the pictures and stories she showed/told me are beyond magical and beautiful

another thing she told me that stood out was Collioure is the town that Matisse went when he was depressed and made a TON of beautiful paintings there

Giverny is just outside of Paris and is home to Monet’s garden where he painted his famous water lilies.

Also consider Bordeaux - it has the second most historic sites in France (Paris is of course first), the wine goes without saying, and I believe the entire historic centre is considered a UNESCO world heritage site.

Alsace and Provence are beautiful also and very charming

Noirmoutier! so cute, countryside and seaside

Bordeaux, Albi, St Jean de Luz, & Biarritz
