student traveling in France for two weeks?
I'll be in Paris in January with my family, then they are heading back to the states and I'll be traveling on my own for two weeks. I want to see France, but I'm on a limited budget (I'm a student). Any itinerary suggestions that won't break my bank? I was thinking about staying towards the south where it will be warmer, but I'm open to suggestions of going other places, I don't mind the cold much (as long as it's not horrible, I want to be able to walk around and sight-see lots). Thanks :)

France is the biggest country in Europe which means you have to choose no more than two different areas to visit, especially if you are on budget. Travel by train, there's special prices for travellers and young people and it is cheaper than travel by car and faster than coaches (For example: Carte 12-25, cost 50 Euros, you get between 25 to 50% discount on train tickets). If you're really tight then coaches is the best. In the cities take the bus, that's normal transport for us and it is cheap. If you want to go south you could take the high speed train TGV Paris - Lyon. Visit Lyon. Then from Lyon TGV to Avignon. Visit Avignon. Then to Marseille. Visit. Then you can go along the coast up to Monaco and Nice, and then back to Paris in five hours with the TGV. Or at Avignon go westward to Nimes, Carcassone... If you want to stay further north, you can go to Caen, visit the war museum, the D-Day beaches, go down to visit the St Michael mount, go back to Paris through the Valley of the Loire and the Renaissance castles... So many things to visit... This site can help you refine your search. http://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions/france-f.htm Have a nice trip.
