Fifty million people squeeze through Paris every 
year, yet only three percent ever set foot in the valley where French kings once stashed their 
crown jewels. Want the France from the postcards *and* the France the postcards never show 
you? Stick with me for the next seven stops. Section 1 – Paris, But Smarter
Yes, we start in Paris—bear with me—but we’re skipping the elevator lines. 
Wake up early, grab a takeaway coffee, and walk the Promenade Plantée as the sun 
comes up. Three stories above the traffic, the lilacs lean over the old rail viaduct 
like they’re trying to whisper secrets. Best light show in town, and it’s free.
By the time you reach the Eiffel Tower, book the stair-only tickets for the first slot. 
Cheaper, zero crowds, and your thighs will hate you—until the view makes them forgive you.
Lunch? Dodge the Champs-Élysées circus, duck into Rue Cler’s covered market, and come out with 
a still-warm baguette tucked under your arm and a fistful of nutty Comté. Congratulations—you just 
did Paris like the Parisians swear they used to. Section 2 – Loire Valley, Castle-Hopping by Bike
Next, hop on an e-bike in Tours and follow the Loire à Vélo path—flat, signed, 
vineyards flirting with you on both sides. First stop: Château de Chenonceau, the 
bridge-castle you’ve seen on every Pinterest board. Snap the selfie, then keep pedaling.
Twenty minutes later you’ll hit Château du Rivau, where the gardens look like someone 
let a children’s pop-up book run wild. Crash in an Airbnb above the patisserie on 
Amboise’s Rue Victor Hugo. Morning bonus: the scent of fresh croissants 
sneaking up through the floorboards. Pro tip: buy the multi-castle pass online the night before. Walk straight in while 
everyone else queues for tickets. Section 3 – French Alps National Parks
Trade wine for altitude. From Lyon, it’s three hours to either Les Écrins or Vanoise—flip a coin.
In Vanoise, the Col de la Vanoise day-hike hands you ibex sightings and a turquoise lake so 
mirror-still you’ll think your phone’s on mute. Spend the night in a refuge. They’re 
half-board, family-style dinners, and by dessert you’re swapping trail 
stories in four languages and zero filters. Pack layers—July nights can still 
drop to 5 °C. Trust me on this. Section 4 – Forêts National 
Park, Burgundy’s Hidden Green Everyone races past Burgundy for the 
wine. Detour instead to Forêts National Park—Europe’s biggest oak fortress—where 
600 km of rivers hide black storks overhead. The 12-km “Sentier des Ducs” loop starts in 
Château-Chinon and ends with a view that, on a clear day, stretches to 
the Alps. No filter required. Picnic idea: Charolais beef, Époisses cheese, 
and a baguette from the last village bakery. Park cafés are scarce and proud of their prices.
Bump into a mushroom forager? Say yes to the chanterelles. You’ll thank her when 
dinner tastes like forest confetti. Section 5 – Hidden Villages: Eguisheim & Gordes
Time to slow the pace. Eguisheim in Alsace curls like a pastel snail 
shell—park outside the walls and walk. Every house fights for the title of cutest planter. 
Grab a three-euro glass of Gewürztraminer from a caveau, and they let you keep the glass.
Down south, Gordes hangs onto its cliff in Provence. Come in late June when the lavender 
rows glow neon purple. Skip the crowded Sénanque Abbey shot and hike to Abbaye de Saint-Hilaire 
at sunset—same purple sea, zero tour buses. Section 6 – French Riviera + Massif de l’Esterel
Yes, hit Nice’s Promenade des Anglais. Then jump on the ten-euro bus to Massif de l’Esterel, where 
red volcanic cliffs dive straight into the Med. Trailhead starts in Agay—park free 
before 9 a.m. The Cap Dramont loop takes two hours and ends at a lighthouse canteen 
slinging the best pan bagnat on the coast. Nap on the hidden cove of Plage du Camp Long. 
Bring water shoes; the rocks have no chill. Back in Nice, climb Castle Hill 
at dusk. The Baie des Anges turns fireworks-pink and you’ll wonder why 
you ever queued for a rooftop bar. Section 7 – Mont Saint-Michel & the Grand Finale
Last hurrah: arrive at Mont Saint-Michel two hours before high tide. Watch the causeway vanish and 
the abbey look like it just decided to levitate. Stay overnight inside the walls. 
Once the day-trippers leave, the village drops to 30 residents and a sky so 
star-soaked you’ll crane your neck like a kid. Next morning, drive 45 minutes to 
Avignon. Tour the Palais des Papes, then book the VR experience that overlays medieval banquets onto the empty halls. Sounds 
gimmicky, right? Goosebumps guaranteed. Mid-Roll CTA

We started above Paris traffic, pedaled past fairy-tale rivers, summited ibex 
country, foraged mushrooms under cathedral oaks, drank Gewürztraminer in a snail-shell 
village, cliff-jumped the Riviera, and watched an abbey lift off the sea.
Seven places—really one country that refuses to settle for postcard views. Pack light, 
say bonjour a lot, and I’ll see you on the road.
