There are four of us visiting Paris in October. We have an apartment for 5 nights, but wondering where to visit and stay besides Paris for the last 2 days. We would be able to leave on a Thursday morning and have to be back to the airport in Paris on Saturday for a 2:15pm flight. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When you say %26quot;the last 2 days%26quot; do you means out of the 5 days or after the 5 days?
How about the Loire Valley, Normandy, Giverny?
|||
I am confused too, do you mean a total of 5 days in Paris , or do you mean you have rented an apt for 5 out of 7 days?
I second In Loves suggestion of Loire Valley, you don%26#39;t really have time to go any further. Frankly for a one week trip it would never occur to me to go anywhere else, but you %26quot; power tourists%26quot; seem to like to go go go...
Why not extend stay in Paris to 7 days and just take one or two daytrips out of Paris, Versailles and Loire Valley are good, or Chartes .
|||
It all depends on your interests...History, Chateaux, Champagne area, etc?
Keep in mind that you%26#39;d need to be at CDG no later than 11:15 AM day of departure, so you probably wouldn%26#39;t want to be more than a 2-3 hour train ride away.
|||
Just to clarify, we arrive in Paris on Oct. 4 and leave Oct.11, so have 7 nights, but only 5 in the apartment. We%26#39;ll need to find a place to stay for the last 2 nights. I have hotel points so staying in Paris and doing day trips for the last 2 days sounds like the way to go. We definitely will do a day at Versailles. Any details on Loire Valley or Chartes would be welcomed.
Thank you for your suggestions.

I took a day trip to Loire Valley and saw 3 castles. A van picked me up at my apartment and dropped me at their main office where I boarded a large bus. When we arrived back in Paris around 6pm, a van took me back to my apartment. I might have used Cityrama although I am not positive. I enjoyed the trip and it was one of the few things I thought was worth going on a tour. Actually, there wasn%26#39;t much of a tour at any of the castles but it was very convenient transportation.
There are tons of Loire Valley tours on line. The one I took actually gave me a 10% AAA discount. I think it was with Greyline. I saw the AAA discount on one tour and when I asked if it could apply to my tour they told me yes.

Thank you In Love With Paris. We will definitely look into this option.

If you like History, go to Normandy. D-Day beaches, existing museum etc.
