This does not give you much time. The most obvious place is Paris, if you have never been as there is so much to see and to do.
However France is a big place. Any of the major towns should keep you busy. You could go to Marseilles and have a quick look at the main Provence towns such as Avignon, Arles, Nimes which have tremendous Roman and medieval buildings, and see the Pont du Gard aquaduct (built by the Romans) at the same time . The seaside towns on the Cote d'Azur are not all that interesting at that time of the year and, despite the fact it is the South of France, it is not all that warm at Christmas time ( roughly the same temperature as New York).
Or you could visit some castles in the Loire Valley. However in three days you will be seriously pushed for time. |

all depends on where you come from, what you enjoy (quiet place, sport, nightlife, landscape, shopping, crowded place), what you want to see, if you will have a car or not, the money you can spend...
I would choose another city than Paris, so why not another big one as Lyon, Toulouse, Strasbourg... or a very small village somewhere in the south, the west, the east, the north or the center. Each area in France has really nice places, the choice of it just depends on your preference (not on ours). |
