Going to spend New Years in Paris for about a week and then have about 8 days to go anywhere....<BR><BR>Have been to London, Italy, Germany..in past year.<BR><BR>Where would be a great place to go in that Jan time frame(cold). Would you go down to Provence area?<BR><BR>Has anyone have good knowledge of skiing in Courcheval or Chamonix? Looking for some great ideas? I realize it is a broad question but have hit a real mindblock on some places to go in Jan...thanks

Portugal and Spain<BR>

My first thought is go south for warmth, but that's cause I'm not a cold weather fan. What about Corsica? Sort of French with an Italian twist.

Have you thought of maybe trying out a week in Florence/Siena. It will be chilly but it's always been a favorite of mine. <BR><BR>I have skiied in Chamonix and it was wonderful. Courcheval has great reviews but always mentioned as expensive! Bon chance!

I say to heck with the cold. Go have some beer in Brussels. Or some beer in Berlin...get the picture....
