London/Paris in May 10 days..other cities?
My husband and I will be traveling to London and Paris this May for 10 days. We are short on time but would like to see alot. Any suggestions for other cities we should see that would not be too terribly long via rail to get to? Any suggestions are much appreciated! We are pretty 'green' travelers

There's plenty to do in London and Paris to fill up your time. (And I understate.) You may want to leave open the option of day trips. For instance, if you feel like getting out of London, take a train to Cambridge or maybe Brighton. From Paris, you could go to Giverny and Monet's garden.

10 days is <b>barely</b> enough time for a tiny basic overview of London and Paris. And if your ten days includes travel to/from Europe you really willl have barely 7 days free for sightseeing
10 days
-2 travel days
-1 jet lag recovery day
-1/2 day for travel from London to Paris.
= 6.5 days
Leaves you little enough time for one city let alone three

We did Paris/London for 13 days last September; we had been to both before and I could have stayed in both longer. There was so much to do and see and our time included 2 day trips from London and 1 from Paris. We arrived in the am and didn't miss a beat (we fly out of NYC and I've never had a jet lag issue), spent 1/2 day traveling between cities, and our last day was really barely a half because our flight left London in the afternoon. Split your time just between these 2 and you'll see tons!
