preferably to south and/or east of Paris? and can be gotten to/from within 3 hours or so?
something which has nice outdoorsy stuff to do, nice views... would the Alsace Lorraine or Champagne areas fit the bill for pretty outdoor hikes? how about Strasbourg and environs?

All of the Vexin, but especially Chateau Gaillard above Les Andelys for a spectacular view/hike up, to see the bend in the Seine where Richard the Lionhearted figured he could command all river traffic, coming or going for twenty miles.
There's another cool castle rather cut into a huge stone face not far from there, also on the Seine. It has architectural elements from adding on that has spanned at least six different centuries. I'll see if I can come up with the name, if someone doesn't recognize what I am talking about first.
Best wishes,
Rex
