Hi, I am a single man, healthy, active, and a professional photographer. I have some time after doing a photo shoot in Paris. Before I return to the US, I can take up to another 10-14 days to have fun, see and explore; budget is no issue. I still have to book my return flight, so maybe Paris unless I end up in Spain, then Madrid. Can you suggest places that are amazing in mid-May 2025, fastly coming up, that fit these criteria:
- Don't choose another busy city. Paris will have done that. So start in Paris and suggest an itinerary. I am interested in culture, people, food, art, seafood, walking, hiking, biking, and, of course, being single, and I will find it excellent.
- I looked at Bordeaux and going south to Biarritz and San Sebastián as one route. I don't need to see Normandy or go back to Lyon, Nice or Arles, that area. Been there. Provence, was there (not everywhere) but feels like another time.
- Yes, I'm fortunate and very appreciative of your time to suggest really cool little places and where to stay, and for how long.
Finally, I lived in Italy, so let's not take me there, even though I loved it. Hmm, maybe to Spain. Barcelona is too nuts for me or my timing.
I would appreciate your ideas, and if you know of places you love, I'm ready to send you a thank you online. PS: I'm in my early 70s, not married anymore, and I live a great life. Phew! That's probably more than you needed to know, and I am in your hands. Thanks and my name for here, for now, is Hal.
