My 12 year old and I are embarking on a 5 week trip. We begin in Toronto, head to Edinburgh for 2 days, then London for 5 days. We then plan on taking the Eurostar to Paris. We currently have reservations at the Astotel Joke from July 4-9. A friend has offered his flat for the 9-11 in Paris. We are returning to the US from Geneva on July 20.
- Jun 22-25 Toronto
- June 26- 28 Edinburgh (Wilde Hotels Grassmarket) *Sleeper train to London at 11 pm
- June 29- July 4 - London (Clubquarters Gracechurch)
- July 4-9- Paris (Astotel Joke 4-9, we could stay in Paris two more days)
*Fat bike tour of Versailles on July 6
- July 18- 20 Geneva (visiting friends)
- July 20- Flight home!
My son says he prefers mountains over beach. We are going to France due to French being his favorite class this year at school. Hoping to continue to foment that interest!
Should we head straight to Chaminox, and then do activities/relax for the week? Or should we stop for a couple of days in Lyon or Annecy? We originally had plans to go to Normandy as he's a history buff, but its in the opposite direction.
Was also curious as to where it might be fun to spend Bastille day since that is in the middle of the time I am trying to plan out still.
Should we head straight to Chaminox and chill after a month of travel? Go on hikes? Take the cable to Medici and Helbronner? Paragliding (him- not me!) or Mountain biking?
Advice welcome!
