We'd like to take the train from Paris and are open to all possibilities...main interest is fine food & good wine. We're staying in Paris but are looking for a one day, one night trip by train. We'd like to spend one night and return to Paris the next day. Brugges is a possibility...any others? Anything south?

If your main interest is food and wine, why not Lyon, only two hours away by TGV? I believe it's supposed to have as many, if not more, excellent restaurants than Paris.

Here's one possibility: Take the train to Rouen, a city rich in history and culture. Have dinner at the Restaurant Gill, quai de la Bourse (especially good if you enjoy seafood). <BR> <BR>

NCV

Rouen is a beautiful city and certainly worth a visit. Please do go to Restaurant Gill - a superb restaurant on quai de la Bourse where you get some superb Normandy fare (specially superb seafood), wondeful puddings and superbly attentive service. It is a pleasure visiting this city - will always head back to Gill!! Please book.

Dijon; Burgundy is famous for its excellent food and wines, and Dijon is an interesting city to visit.

Hi Nikki!

Maybe Jennifer feel in love with a French man, dumped her boyfriend and never came back.

Nikki

Ah, lucky Jennifer, France is a great place to feel in love.

StCirq and NCV: How long from Paris to Rouen? I am just starting the fun of putting together a trip from Paris to ?somewhere in southern France (thank you Air France) next March.

Thanks,

YOu have many options. you can go east to Reims and visit great Champagne houses and dine at great restaurants, south to Burgundy as already listed (Lyon has GREAT restaurants). You could go east to Loire, great food and history.

We loved Normandy. Great history and the best oysters I've ever had ( and I grew up with great Blue Points!). Don't forget, there's great wine served all over France even if there's none produces locally. Normandy is more of a cider and calvados area but it's one of our favorite places in France.

YOu have lots of choices. See what everyone else says. . .
