Paris is pretty sweet - just, for the love of God, don't fucking drive. The metro and easy access to long distance trains make it a pretty frequent stop for me.

Years ago Paris was great fun to drive around. Getting on and off the Pรฉriph can be hair raising but when you make it, the sense of elation makes you feel so alive!

I'm not selling it, am I?

Some people are into extreme sports. Driving in Paris can definitely be classified as such

Driving in Paris is crazy as hell, and I did drive a lot in European cities. Although the worst I've ever been to has to be Bucharest. People drive hyper-crazy in Romania.

Is it possible for you to share your list?

If you haven't been to France before, make Carcassonne your first stop. It's a wonderful village with an exceptional walled medieval hamlet.

The board game isn't bad either!

I'm French ahah. But sometimes it's nice to see your country from an outside perspective. Being a tourist in your own country can be interesting!

Just guessing by the username and domain, they probably heard of it!

Stopped there for a day on the way back from Spain. The walled Hamlet is beautiful, especially nice to stroll through the streets after dark.

Stay overnight next time! The town surrounding the citadel is actually really pleasant and one of the staples of cuisine local to that area is Cassoulet!

Can't see a way to do it privately, sorry. Unless you know a way
