I am taking my wife and granddaughter to France in May, a HS graduation present for her. This is her first international exposure (except Disney World in Orlando where she grew up). I'm looking for a 2 or3 bedroom apartment, townhome or house in the city rather than two hotel rooms. We like shopping at open air markets and cooking some of our meals instead of eating out all of the time. It has been 11 years since my last trip to Paris and we have 8 1/2 days to fill once we are there, and not all has to be in Paris. I would like to expose her to some rural France as well. Right now, it's just the usual biggies in Paris and the Palace of Versailles. Even toyed with the idea of five days in Paris and a train to London for a couple of days. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
