Is this an AI generated map? Cannes is not fucking located there, and even if it was, why the fuck highlight Cannes? Why not Marseille, Nice, Strasbourg, Toulous, Nantes? All that space and they only show 4 cities, one of which is not even in the top 10 largest? Seriously? What were they thinking?

Lyon Obviously Nice Caen if you like WW2 Rouen if you go to Caen and also like Cider and soft cow cheese. Lille but avoid the suburbs Clermont-Ferrand Orleans Reims Strasbourg and Metz.There's literally unlimited non-overtouristed towns in France all with their own unique regional character, probably the most underrated country on this board. Just go to any train station in Paris and head out to the first place that looks cool.

Lyon and Marseille obviously. The south also has some nice smaller cities like Montpellier, Avignon or Toulon. Also go somewhere in Brittany, always worth a visit.

For natural beauty, Dordogne and the area around Marseille For a cosy downtown, Lille For a feisty mediterean city, Montpellier For the beach, I'd go to the atlantic coast, below bordeaux. The mediteranean is kinda meh.

You already answered the question in the thread name

>what are some cool french places to visit >that aren't that tourist trap shithole literally everything outside of Paris maybe avoid the Côte d’Azur / French Riviera, Atlantic coast, well generally every coast south of Paris, from June to AugustNormandie, Bretagne and Hauts-de-France are surprisingly empty during summer (except very few popular points) and of course all the central regions are fine as well some parts near (German) population centers, like Alsace, will still be busy but even in high season it's not overtouristed like ParisRhone-Alpes is criminally underrated in Summer kayaking Loire Valley is also awesome if you like being active and /out/

Not gonna answer if you can't even be bothered to find a correct image, fuck you.

Come to Aubenas, Ardèche and smoke weed with me. We have nice rivers and goat cheese too.

Traveling to France in 2 months. Already have the most popular landmarks planned out, I love french animation but I don't know if there's anything related to that I could see.

Anon06/15/26, 21:05No.2889226

South and southwest >Dordogne, Bordeaux, Pyrenees, Albi, Carcasonne, Avignon, Nîmes, Arles, Aix-en-Provence, Camargue/Aigues-Mortes

Any insight on the diagnale du vide? Interested in starting in Southwest France and following that line eastwards, maybe deviating off to Avignon. I am not interested in major tourist destinations as much as nice drives, walks, and scenic countryside

I was really interested in the Beast of the Gevaudan when I was younger, lol.Long story short, going to walk El Camino later this year. Probably starting in Madrid, taking the train to France, and walking as far as I can in the span of three to four weeks. I was thinking about doing a "reduced" version of the Camino and setting aside a few days--maybe six or seven--to travel in a more conventional sense. Was thinking about heading over to the historical Gevaudan region (or elsewhere in Languedoc/Auvergne).Don't really know anything about that part of France, though. Anyone know if it's worth the hassle? I'm old and don't really care about La Bête anymore, but all the little hill towns I've looked at on Google in Languedoc/Auvergne seem really, REALLY fucking comfy.

Best places to visit in winter besides Paris? Normandy and Provence seem to shut down and die in winter, and Strasbourg only has like a day's worth of stuff to do

Anon06/30/26, 20:04No.2893453

Fuck off we're full

Anon07/01/26, 03:24No.2893524

I had a lovely time in Normandy, highly recommended

Anon07/03/26, 18:45No.2894040

Would I be huge idiot for skipping Paris, or only spending two days there? Not even for chud reasons. I am autistic and don't like loud big cities with lots of people. I prefer small towns and sleepy cities.

Anyone been to Biarritz? I'm not that into surfing but I'm hoping I can find a poker game (I think there's 3 casinos within an hour's drive, could be wrong). Also looking for pub recommendations (idk if I should search for brassiers or bistros, none seem to have bar seating).

I want to include Strasbourg in my France trip in December, but it's just far enough from the major airports(coming from US) that it's extremely annoying. My choices are either flying into Paris and going to Strasbourg for a few days before coming back (which I hate doing), or I can fly into Frankfurt, then stop in Strasbourg on the way to Paris, but that's also annoying. What do you recommend?

Anon07/11/26, 17:46No.2895584

Ile-de-Brehat and surrounding coastal archipelagos in Bretagne. Underrated beaches and not too far from Paris. Saint-Pierre-en-Auge in Normandy. Home to the best apple orchards in France (arguably) and of Calvados apple brandy. Saumur in the Loire et Maine. Super comfy small village town in the heart of wine country. Hendaye on the border with Euskadi. Really good surf spot and close to the northern end of the Pyrenees for top tier hiking.

The French alps are amazing. Chamonix is worth the visit just to ride up the Aiguille du Midi. The ski resorts around Chamonix are unreal. Those are some of the best views I've ever seen in my life. Annecy was beautiful. I want to go back and do a trip down the Rhone from Heidelberg to Basel and see all the smaller towns like Colmar, Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé and Sélestat. I've done Paris. It was cool. I wouldn't go back. I did a road trip through Provence and part of the Riviera. That whole area of France is incredible. If you go to Nimes and Arles in late September during the week, you can walk around the roman arenas and get the whole place to yourself. Avignon and the Pont du Gard are both amazing. I loved Cassis too.

Have you ever gone to Nice? lots of good food there and a fantastic beach there. a frenchman fucked my ass there and I had a shot of rum b the beach. There's a couple of really impressive statues and one building with an archaic perspective paint trick and a guy that takes you into his house and fucks you in his ass. this is okay because the restaurants in Nice have bidets

Belle-Ile

Anon07/13/26, 01:45No.2895918

no one said Etretat or Mont St. Michel?

My family stayed at that hotel in Marseilles where the terrorist stabbed the manager and got shot by police on video kek

Go to Cotentin, it's beautiful

Anon07/27/26, 20:35No.2899289

What's the best way to experience Normandy if I'm staying in Paris and particularly interested in D-Day? Should I just buy a day trip from there for one day, or should I go on my own and stay the night in Bayeux or something?
