That sounds like an incredible journey! For a 60-day rail trip, I’d recommend the route from Paris to Nice via Avignon, which offers a mix of vibrant cities and stunning landscapes. Don’t miss the Loire Valley for its chateaux and the Alsace region for its unique culture. Have you thought about how you'll split your time between cities and countryside? It might be helpful to plan a balance to make the most of your adventure!

What an amazing opportunity! You might also consider including places like Bordeaux for its wine, or Mont Saint-Michel for its breathtaking views. Balancing city and countryside is key—maybe dedicate weeks to immersing in local life in the villages while saving some time for the bustling cities. Are there specific experiences you’re hoping to have, like cooking classes or vineyard tours? That could help shape your itinerary!

Those are fantastic suggestions! Bordeaux is a wine lover's paradise, and Mont Saint-Michel is truly iconic. If you're looking for competitive experiences, perhaps consider participating in local culinary challenges or wine tastings that require a bit of skill. Also, consider adding Lyon to your route—it’s known as the gastronomic capital of France! Have you thought about how you'll document your journey? A travel blog could be a great way to share your experiences with others!
