Our family will be in Alsace--specifically in Gundershoffen and Colmar--during the second week of March. After that my husband and I will peel off from the group for a second week. We will start in Paris to meet up with family but can fly home from a different airport, ideally a non-stop to NYC. We have had the good fortune to visit Paris several times as well as Normandy, so we are looking to expand our horizons on this trip.
We especially enjoy smaller towns and cities where we can get around on foot or use public transit. We love bike tours, walking tours, art museums, concerts, hardware stores, pubs, theater, and cultural experiences as well as just hanging out in a cafe and watching the world go by. Cities that are touristed are great, but so are "normal" towns that tourists don't tend to visit.
One thought was several days in Annecy (possibly bike around the lake) and then a second location closer to an international airport. As a teacher, I tend to travel abroad only in the summer, so March weather will be a new consideration. We no longer ski, so we probably wouldn't opt for more wintry, snowy locales.
All suggestions welcome and appreciated!
