Hello! My husband and I will spend a week in France this June. We’ve spent time in Paris, but this will be our first time elsewhere in the country. We’ll start in Bordeaux, where we will stay one night; the plan, from there, is to spend two nights in Saint-Emilion, two nights in Tours, then three nights in Paris. I’m eager to see a part of southwestern France, and I’ve always wanted to visit the Loire Valley. But I worry that we’ll be bored Saint-E and/or that there’s a more enjoyable “base” in the Loire. Thoughts?

No idea whether you might be bored, since I dont know what activities you enjoy. Are you going to have a car?
Given the travel time between Saint-Emillion and Tours, 2 nights will only give you at most one full day and a few hours of a part day to visit the Loire. So pick your top sites wisely.
