Puzzling together an itinerary and it's leaving me with the following options
A) 1 night Lyon; 4 nights bike touring Rhone Valley (including full afternoon and overnight in Arles where biking ends); 2 nights Florence.
B) 2 nights Lyon; 4 nights bike touring Rhone Valley (including full afternoon and overnight in Arles where biking ends); 1 night Florence.
C) 2 nights Lyon; 3 nights bike touring Rhone Valley (longer days on the bike, late afternoon and overnight Arles); 2 nights Florence.
D) 2 nights Lyon; 3 nights bike touring Rhone Valley (normal length days on the bike, drop off rental bike Arles, immediately rush to airport same day); 2 nights Florence.
All options would finish the same way - four nights apartment in Siena, two nights Lucca.
I will be back to Tuscany in February with my wife and kid for five or six nights. On the one hand it gives plenty of opportunity to visit Florence, on the other hand, I do kind of like previewing places where we will be going as a family.
I've been to Florence but not since 1991. All other destinations I have never traveled to except for train pass-through.
Which would you pick and why? Thanks
