So grateful for this forum and all the helpful people. I am planning a trip with my 17 year old daughter. We are looking at around July 25-Aug 12. Plan is to fly into Paris (from Dallas) and we have about 7-8 days. A must do for us is the Swiss Alps. We have read about the town of chamonix, the cable car ride all the way to peak and into the town in italy. We also will take advantage of a little hiking in that glorious place. Wondering if we should spend a night in Chamonix, a night in italian town and then head back to Paris or go to Provence for a day. So that would give us 4-5 days for the city of Paris. We will have to see all the must see sights, but we love things like flea markets and non tourist things as well.
We will then head to London (via the eurostar train) and be there about 7-8 days. Again, we will of course see all the must see sights, but not sure if we should have any 1 day or 2 day out of the city trips and if so where.
Also, if anyone has absolute favorite hotels, would love to hear. :)
This is my daughter's first trip and sort of a special senior mother/ daughter trip. So I want it to be a great one. Thank you all in advance for any help you give.
