Hehe, I've been to Paris twice, and to Bordeaux, Montpellier, Hauts de France, and surrounding countryside as well. This year we'll drive to Alsace-Lorraine and visit the Vosges. I've liked every visit π
I mean, some people are rude, that's normal. But overall we've been treated really well no matter where we've been.
I was in Bordeaux with my family for the world cup in 2018, it was a great experience even with thousands of people and us with two toddlers.
Sorry, this comes of as a love letter to France π I promise, I also love visiting other parts of Europe!
That's a nice tour indeed! The Vosges are great for nature, I think it's the last rainforest in France.
Alsace has some of the most beautiful villages in the country, great wine and great food.
Lorraine is a bit plain but you have some pretty spots (pays de Bitche is cool) and loads of history (Verdun, Maginot Line).
A few underrated spots for me are Cantal and Ariège, the first one is a massive dormant stratovolcano and the second one is a pretty wild area (at least in the mountains). They're both great for nature and hikes.
Having just returned from a tour of Alsace, I'd describe the food as more "comical" than "great"

I'm so sorry for you... This is what it's supposed to look like:
That looks awful :D Also vaguely obscene
