Hi all! I so appreciate all of the great info I find in this forum! I'll be traveling from Paris to the Hamburg area this summer and am overwhelmed by the number of places to visit in between the two! I was thinking a couple of days on the Rhine would be nice, around St. Goar, but I'd like to see some of France on the way. Any suggestions of beautiful spots to unwind for a day or two after a week in Paris? I know this is the France forum, but if you have any suggestions for the German side, I'd appreciate that, too. Places and how long one would really need to enjoy them. For me, I think I will have seen enough museums and cathedrals by the time I leave Paris, so I'm thinking of this as maybe more of a nature, wine trail, slower part of my 28-day trip.

Given your preference for smaller, less metropolitan places to unwind after Paris, I'd recommend Bruges in Belgium. It's very charming.

On the way to Germany from France take the train to Alsace; there are charming little towns around there:

But it may out of your way to Hamburg.
