BRETAGNE & NORMANDIE
Bretagne, or Brittany, sits between the English Channel and North Atlantic and features a unique flavor to the rest of France. Trust me, some of the best oysters, ciders and Crêpes ever. And Normandy, land of conquerors and site of the most famous naval landing invasion outside of Troy. Both feature an array of beautiful sites and local cuisine. One suggestion for how to enjoy both these regions is to go by car from Angers, go for one night in Rennes in Bretagne, then Mont Saint-Michel and the Normandy Landing beaches.

Paris
Same as for Angers, we suggest you look at booking.com to book any hotels, airbnb if you want a house or apartment, and tripadvisor for restaurants & bars. Please find below a few ideas of what to see in Paris: https://apple.news/A_nXwtZTvTvuUly4YzWL5Kw
