Hello all,
I am a 20-something year old female solo travel who will be in France in May for 3 weeks. I know I want to spend a month in Paris but I'm not sure where else I should go in this time. I will be traveling via train, and I was considering Nice/surrounding for 7 days and Lyons/surrounding for 7 days but I've heard some negative feedback regarding Nice as a necessary spot, so I'd love suggestions for an itinerary and day trips
Thanks!

I would spend a week in Paris (perhaps with a daytrip or two), 10 days in Provence divided between the Bouches-du-Rhône/Lubéron (6 days) and the Côte d'Azur (including Nice, which is lovely! - 4 days), and the remainder in Lyon (3 days, plus one to get back to Paris).
Thanks for the recommendations StCirq! Why only 3 days in Lyon? I've heard there's a lot to see in that area?
