11 nights starting in Colmar and fly out of Nice- itinerary help!

Posted by deniseand70 on 10/04/25 02:03 AM

So much to see in France, it’s hard to narrow down. We originally fly into Frankfurt and will stay a couple nights in Heidelberg, then train to Colmar. Will pick up car
How many nights in Colmar?
Would love to spend time in Chamonix, is it worth going in May?
Then head to Provence? How many nights? Best home base?
Fly out of Nice

Open to ANY suggestions or itinerary advice. It will be 2 fifty-something’s traveling with our 2 twenty-something’s. My daughter has a chronic illness, so we want to take it a little slower, but enough activities to keep my very active son busy.

We love nature, food, and history
Thanks for your help!

I'd consider Basel, Bern, Lake Como, Turin, Nice. All nice, historic, scenic, and cities with plenty to do. Also very easy to make connections via trains. In May that's going to be a very pretty route.

But you're going to pass right through some of the best German (and French) wine country between Heidelberg and Colmar. And at one of the best times to visit.

KGC, thank you! That isn’t a route I had not considered! I will research that today!
