Spent a week in France, and all but one day of it in Paris. This was not my experience at all. Just FTR.
The one day I didn't spend in Paris was spent travelling to Normandy to take a tour of the D-Day beaches, etc. It was fantastic. Very interesting, informative, humbling etc. One day is pretty rushed, and it' s a long day if you do it as a day trip out of Paris, but I highly recommend going there one way or another.
Note, while there you (unlike me
) should check out the Bayeux Tapestry.
It's RIGHT. DAMN. THERE. And yet we just could not squeeze it in.
