2 Week Honeymoon in France - Paris and Where Else?
 

I'm planning a two-week honeymoon in late May of 2018. The plan is to definitely spend the latter half of the two weeks in Paris, and to spend the first half in a region of France where we can enjoy the great outdoors, drink wine, and RELAX after our wedding.

I'm debating either the Loire Valley or the Provence region. Loire is easier to get to and would involve less travel, which is appealing as we want to minimize time spent driving/flying/riding trains. We love wine from the Loire valley, so this jumped out to us as an option immediately.

The more I research France, though, the more I worry I'm making a mistake skipping Provence. It looks stunningly gorgeous and it would be awesome to compare the topography of southern vs. northern France. My concerns are that A) it is harder to get to - not really sure how I would get there and back - and B) The area seems much larger, so between getting around from place to place and getting back up to Paris we would spend more time traveling.

Should I save Provence for a later date? Or is the Loire an equally good choice? Of course this is mostly a matter of opinion, but I am eager to hear thoughts from those who have been to these places in the past.
