After doing research and reading your replies to my posts (‘Paris/Normandy/Burgundy possible?’), I’ve decided on doing Paris/Loire/Burgundy.
I think we’ll be ok doing this in 10 days. We plan on flying into Paris and immediately driving down to Loire for 3 nights(accomodations still TBD- there are too many beautiful places!), then to Burgundy for 3 nights, and back up to Paris for 3 nights.
Now, my question is- where to base ourselves in each area? Loire isn’t so much of an issue: I’m looking at Tours/Amboise area…but Burgundy I’m not sure of.
Would you recommend Beaune or Dijon as a base? we will have rental car for the whole trip (with exception of Paris..we want to return it once we get there).
I haven’t even looked at Paris hotels yet, but I’m not so concerned with Paris. As long as I get to visit the Louvre and see Notre Dame, I’m happy.
your advice on burgundy is much appreciated!
thanks
Denise
