I’d rather recommend this route around Paris!

Just back from France—I’ve stayed in a castle, sipped valley wine, and seen Monet’s water lilies! This route is like a double hit of French aristocratic life + artistic inspiration ✨! If you, like Grace, love French style, you mustn’t miss this #FranceTravel route! Detailed Itinerary Day1️⃣: Paris After arriving in Paris, I was picked up and checked into the hotel for a short rest. In the evening, I headed straight to Montmartre. Standing in front of Sacré-Cœur, the whole of Paris was 尽收眼底，and there were street artists painting on the spot 🎨. Day2️⃣: Paris City Tour + Seine River Cruise Dinner In the morning, I visited the Louvre. In the afternoon, I wandered along the Champs-Élysées and bought some souvenirs. The highlight came in the evening: a Seine River cruise dinner! While enjoying the lit night views on both banks, I savored French cuisine 🍷. Day3️⃣: Paris — Loire Valley In the morning, I chartered a car to the Loire Valley, which took about 3 hours. After arriving in the afternoon, I visited Château de Chambord—I was truly stunned. The castle is huge with a unique design, and there are many historical relic exhibitions inside, letting me dive into French history. At night, I stayed in a castle hotel—quiet and beautifully surrounded 🏰. Day4️⃣: Loire Valley Cycling + Winery Tasting Early in the morning, I went cycling in the Loire Valley! I rented a bike and rode along the “La Loire à Vélo” route—the scenery on both sides was like a painting 🖼️. I passed a small village midway and had local cheese and fruits. In the afternoon, I visited a winery, tasted Sancerre white wine, and paired it with cheese and truffles—pure happiness! 🧀 Day5️⃣: Loire Valley — Mont Saint-Michel In the morning, I set off for Mont Saint-Michel, about a 5-hour drive. The driver was very thoughtful along the way and even recommended some niche spots. After arriving, I visited the Mont Saint-Michel Abbey—the architecture was magnificent. Standing on the top, the view of the sea and beach was stunning 🌊! Day6️⃣: Mont Saint-Michel — Saint-Malo In the morning, I wandered around Mont Saint-Michel and bought some souvenirs. Then I headed to Saint-Malo, a 2-hour drive. As soon as I arrived, I was drawn to its pirate vibe. I had a seafood feast at a restaurant by the city walls—the oysters were super fresh 🦪! Day7️⃣: Free Time in Saint-Malo + Return to Paris I explored Saint-Malo more, visited the Pirate Museum, and learned about its rich pirate history. In the afternoon, I took a car back to Paris—the driver even told me stories about French history and culture along the way 🗣️. Day8️⃣: Paris City Tour On the last day, I wandered around central Paris, visiting classic spots like the Arc de Triomphe and Notre-Dame. I also went to the Latin Quarter—its cafés and bodegas were so charming ☕! Day9️⃣: Return Chartering a car for the whole trip was such a relief—I could go wherever I wanted and control my own time. The driver was also very helpful, explaining lots of local history and culture along the way. The whole trip was 9 days and 7 nights, costing 27,500 RMB per person! #LoireValley #FrenchCastles #ChâteaudeChambord #ChâteaudeChenonceau #DaVinci #OffTheBeatenPath #CastleHotel #Travel10kSupportPlan
