So convenient to Paris, and so little discussed here. We had a most enjoyable stay, from large cities to smaller towns. Lots of cathedrals, and other attractions of note. It's all in my usual series of captioned photo albums, in the order of places visited.

Without clicking on your photos, I will say that all of those cities are well worth a visit.

Fabulous towns, fabulous weather and oh, the pastries! Thanks for the visuals.

Thanks for sharing SemiMike! Did you stay overnight in these towns or take day trips from Paris?

As noted in the Arras album, we stayed in a wonderful house there, and used that as the base for all our day trips.
