10 Day France Itinerary

Marseille for my money has it way over Cannes. Guide books and internet searches on the basis of your interests will give you specific sites.

Shenila: I think that a day trip from Paris to Mont Saint Michel and back will be too exhausting, and you will regret having planned it. Try doing something a lot closer to Paris (or in Paris) on that day. Remember, you can always come back to France another time to see things you did not do on this trip. Peter Dodd

In my view, your day trips are not good. Too much back and forth, not enough sightseeing.

If Annecy is a must, spend the night there and save Lyon for another trip. Or enjoy Lyon and save Annecy.

Agreed that trying to do Mont St Michel as a day trip from Paris would not be enjoyable. If you are really keen to see MSM, rethink the northern leg of your itinerary and stay overnight at the Mount. (Opinions vary as to whether you're best advised to sleep on the mount itself or on the mainland.) If it's more important for you to have adequate time in Paris, then save MSM for another time.
