Hi

I am travelling to Paris for a week in September/October and will have a couple of days to spare. Does anyone have any suggestions on where might be nice and easily accessible by train to spend a couple of days??

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks!

What do you want to see? If you want to see a different city (cathedral, museum, whatever), there are many cities in France (and Belgium) less than 2 hours away by train.

Personally, I would say to go to Strasbourg for a couple of days -- it is completely different from Paris.

If a day trip suits you, would suggest Chartres or Versailles.

Hi ems,

Lucky you, an extra couple of days in Paris.

Or you could try Burgundy (Dijon or Beaune)

Chartres for sure.

For some great ideas, get Annabel Sims book "An Hour From Paris": http://www.amazon.com/Hour-Paris-Ann...1115925&sr=8-1

If you have "overage" from a full week in Paris, then maybe Normandy would be nice. Or even Provence--TGV to Avignon and rent a car.
If it is a "day trip" then Giverney or Chartres or Versailles.

That sounds great - thanks for the replies!

Chartres, Funtainbleau, Giverny, Chantilly, Malmaison, Reims all less than 2hrs from Paris

FoUntainbleau

FONtainEbleau.

London, Amsterdam, Bruges, Brussels, Loire Valley, Normandy, Provence, Champagne Country, Alsace, Lille, La Rochelle, and innumerable daytrip options like Auvers-sur-Oise, Vaux-le-Vicomte, Ile des Impressionistes, Saint-Denis, Amiens, Senlis and Chantilly, and others already mentioned.

Or as my NY wife would say it...
