French Region Recommendation
Hi All.
I just registered after reading this message board for a long time. There is so much helpful stuff here + I enjoy the trip reports. My family went to Paris last spring & had a blast. For spring break 2006 I want to see France again but this time a different region. My only requirement is one with a soccer team nearby as we never vacation w/out attending a match. If there were points of interest for 12 year olds that would be great. Thanks for any suggestions.

I don't know playing schedules for soccer, so you'll have to find out all those details elsewhere. I do know most major cities in France have a soccer team, though, so you could do that in any region, I think.
There are good teams in Auxerre, Lyon, Marseille, St Etienne, Bordeaux, Nice, LeMans, Troyes, Lens, Nancy, Rennes, Lille, and of course, Paris. There's also one in Monaco.
I'm not a big sports buff, that's just the info I found quickly, and I knew about already.
If you want to check schedules or other issues, you might examine the French Football Federation website www.fff.fr or perhaps the International one www.fifa.com
