I'm starting to plan a 14-day trip to Europe from Canada. We are a family of 4, with teenagers and will be arriving in Paris. Europapark is a must for us, but once we've visited these two places, our itinerary is wide open, any suggestions?

Hi JG,

How long do you plan for each venue?

You have tagged this for Germany so are we correct in assuming you wish to remain in that country? Be easier to make recommendations if you told us interests, etc.

Gengenbach for its numerous half-timbered houses and town square.
Staufen for its castle ruins above town and wine-tasting.
Triberg if you are in the market for a cuckoo clock (and for the rather tame falls).
Alpirsbach for the brewery.
But most of all, Gutach for the outdoor museum-- Schwarzwaelder Freilichtmuseum Vogtsbauernhof:

OK - you need to clarify somethings . . .

Which 'Europark' are you visiting. The one in France . . . Then why is this tagged Germany?

But if you mean Europa Park in Germany - Are you just planning on Paris and Europa Park?

Have you been to Paris before? What sorts of things interest you?

Thanks for the suggestions

I do mean EuropaPark in Germany. The family has not been to Europe, we are planning about a week in Paris, 2 days for the park and from there we don't know...

Western Germany is where EuropaPark is, don't know if we should go further in to the east, go north or south
