Week-end trip from Paris
I will be in Paris on business (with my wife) and will have about three-four days over a long week-end for a side trip (Car or train). Would appreicate any suggestions for a three-four day side trip; have already done the Normandy area as well as Giverny. Thanks,

I'd suggest a quick trip through Brittany: take the TGV to Rennes, pick up a car, and do a circular tour that incluves Vannes, Dinan, the megaliths at Carnac, Pont-Aven and Quimper, and then back to Rennes or over to Rouen to catch the TGV back to Paris.

Troyes might be nice. The half-timbered old city center is beautiful. 5 or 6 worthwhile small museums are there. Several beautiful churches to visit. Some of them are only open through arrangements with the tourist bureau so keep that in mind.
You can take a bus or cab to the outlet malls on the edge of town. I'm not much of a shopper so I didn't do the shopping, but I'm sure you could get there on public transport. However if you shop too much you might need a cab to get back.

The site seems to be French only, but you don't need to know French to read most of the stores.
