How to arrange the itinerary for self-help tour in France? What places do you recommend?

1. go on road trip is the best choice. When you get out of Paris, you can drive more smoothly, and you will meet many places and scenery that are not mentioned in the guidebook, which is the most interesting. Even myself, who travels to and from Bordeaux and Toulouse every week, will deliberately drive some detours to some small towns or forests in the south to be in a daze. Good scenic spots are not always crowded with tourists. 2. Try to eat local food as much as possible. There are many special foods and good restaurants all over France. Don't save money when you come out to play. Eating is a big event and an important part of foreign culture. It's not worthwhile to come all the way to eat instant noodles and Chinese food every day. Looking for the cheapest French fries and steak every day is not worth it. Spend more time at the dinner table, and you will be half French:) 3. People from other provinces, especially those from Southwest France, are generally more enthusiastic; French people in big cities are generally relatively indifferent, especially to tourists, especially those who can't speak French. If you only know a little French, they won't be as happy and satisfied as people in other countries, so stick to speaking your English well. People in the town don't care what language you speak, and they welcome any foreigner:)
