We are considering a trip to northern France the week of October 19-25. We will likely fly into Paris and have 4-5 days to explore some part of northern France before we return to Paris and travel on to Amsterdam. We have visited Paris itself, Normandy and Burgundy, so we wish to explore some other area of France relatively close to Paris; Mont Saint-Michel is a possibility, but we are concerned about the climate during that part of the year. We would like others' experiences about visiting the northwestern French coast during this time of year as well as suggestions for other sights in this general area that are worth visiting; one of our passions is wine and wine tasting, so we would like to incorporate that into our tour.
Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Per your feedback I should amend my request to say: "We would like others' experiences about visiting areas of France within approximately 400 km of Paris during this time of year; although we are open to other directions particularly if there is the likelihood of bad weather, our current preference is to head west towards the Atlantic coast."
