We are planning a trip to Paris for a week and a week in Germany (for May). We already have three days planned in the Rhineland, around St. Goar. We are trying to figure out where to go the remaining 4 days. Have already been to Munich, Heidelburg, Baden Baden, Regensburg. We are taking the train from Paris. Thanks so much for any suggestions.

If you would like a place that is French with a German flavor, do Strasbourg and the Alsace wine region. The villages on the wine route are storybook adorable and the food is wonderful. I also found the people to be quite friendly.

How about the TGV to Avignon?

Thanks for the ideas so far! We will look into it. Where are your favorite spots in Germany?

I am a Munich fan.

I concur with Strasbourg. It is a beautiful city. There's an article in this month's Gourmet magazine about Strasbourg and surrounding towns, although it's about the Christmas Season.
