My husband and I will be traveling to Europe at the beginning of June. We plan on 10 days in combination with Paris/Normandy/Loire Valley. We have an additional three days to travel and are trying to decide on another destination. I would like to see something I haven't seen before - I have been to Amsterdam, London, Paris, Barcelona, Venice, Florence, Rome, Ireland and Prague. We will fly into Brussels which allows a lot of cheap flight options to other cities... considering Bruges and Annecy... any other suggestions?

It's a long way from Normandy to Annecy. I drove from Chamonix, which is not that much further to Amboise and took two days to do it. What about Brittany? Or Alsacs? Or Burgundy? Pam

You could add time to Normandy, and visit a bit west, towards the east side of Brittany (Mont St. Michel and the like). Or if you prefer cities, you could easily spend three days in Belgium (Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp, etc.)

Thank you for your responses. I will look into Burgundy and had the same thoughts about the distance to Annecy... and I have been considering Belgium..just a little undecided.

I must add - the others on my list have included Edinburgh, Lisbon and Krakow. We could easily fly into any of those cities for three days and then on to Paris. There is so much to see and do.... I go through this every time we travel. Last time, we took our son to Munich, London and Ireland.... love the cheap air flights in Europe.
