France Itinerary Help
My husband and I are planning an 11 day France trip end of August / early September. We are flying into Paris and out of Nice. We have visited Paris before but would still like to spend at least two days enjoying Paris on this trip. Other cities we are thinking of visiting are Avignon, Chamounix, Annecy and towns along the French Riviera.
We're looking for a mix of activities including enjoying the French Riviera beaches and towns and seeing museums. Would appreciate any suggestions on cities to visit and how long to keep for Nice, Avignon and other cities. Time permitting, we are also considering a day or so in Geneva exploring the Swiss side near the French border. Any suggestions on nice areas to visit there?
Thanks!

Well, if you subtract two days in Paris from 11, that leaves 9, and you want to see Avignon, Chamonix, Annecy, Nice and "towns along the French Riviera," "a day or so in Geneva" and "exploring the Swiss side near the French border".... the math just doesn't add up, does it?

We are a company that delivers boxes from different cities, and our first is Paris. We would say go to Paris for 5 days-because there is so much to see! And you can always go to the other days to look at specific things you need!

Thanks everyone for your helpful feedback. We have decided to skip Geneva to enjoy France properly. After reading more we did decide to include 1.5 days in the Loire Valley to tour some Chateaux. Our itinerary looks like:
Paris: 3 days (off to Loire Valley night of the 3rd day)
Loire Valley: 2 days (train to Lyon in the evening of the 2nd day.
Lyon: dinner and stay overnight
Annecy/ Chamounix: 3 days
Avignon: 1 day
Nice / French Riviera: 3 days
Paris: 3 days (off to Loire Valley night of the 3rd day)
Loire Valley: 2 days (train to Lyon in the evening of the 2nd day.
Lyon: dinner and stay overnight
Annecy/ Chamounix: 3 days
Avignon: 1 day
Nice / French Riviera: 3 days
