RV Road Trip - 100 Things to do in France 12/20

The country of France is literally filled with medieval cities, alpine villages, and glorious beaches. Vineyards and wines make it world famous, as do the many classical museums and monuments. Ancient caves with prehistoric drawings, theatres and palaces, art galleries and eclectic villages – there is something for everyone in this amazing country!

 

56. Sainte-Chapelle

This chapel has one of the finest collection of stained glass windows, it was the first royal chapel to be built in France.
The chapel was built in the 13th century by Louis IX, and the purpose was to house the collection of the relics of the Passion of Christ.
You will be able to see the ‘Wall of Light’, which is a collection of fifteen glass panels and a large rose window.
Allow a half day to see this. Also, take note that this chapel is closed on very cold days.

 

57. Musée Toulouse-Lautrec

You will find over 1000 original works of the artist here, the largest collection outside Orsay.
The collection houses paintings from his very early days (neo-impressionist) to the famous Parisian brothel scenes.
Also, there are paintings of the artist’s family and friends, and delicate drawings of animals.

Some paintings which you may be familiar with are L’Anglaise du Star au Havre (Englishwoman of the Star Harbour) and Les Deux Amies (The Two Friends).
The museum has many events through the year where you can see different exhibitions.
You should allow yourself a half day at the very least, as this might take longer than just a morning.

 

58. Hidden Paris: Day Bike Tour

There are many companies which offer cycle day trips around the city. You will be able to see lively markets and hidden gems this way. You can include the Latin Quarter, Jewish communities and the Place de la Bastille, along with passing the Eiffel Tower and cathedrals.
The tours always have plenty of stops along the way and opportunities to take pictures whenever you like.
The tours are normally suited to all ages and fitness levels. Most of them last about three hours, although you can find longer tours.

 

59. Les Machines de l’Île de Nantes

If mechanical contraptions inspire you, then head here! This is a wacky workshop filled to the brim with weird and wonderful inventions, such as giant herons for you to fly! There’s a huge mechanical elephant with a secret room in its belly, while outside there is a gigantic carousel that takes you under the sea on the back of octopuses and crabs.
While this is a great day out for older children, be careful with the younger ones, who may be frightened by some of the attractions.
Allow yourself a day to do this.

 

60. Monaco and Eze

Explore these two pretty villages. You can take a half day trip and see them both. From Eze you can see the most wonderful views, and the medieval village. You will be able to visit the Fragonard perfume factory – it has a shop!
In Monaco, you will be able to see the tomb of Princess Grace, and get an idea of how the world’s richest spend their time.
Allow yourself a half day for the trip although you may want to spend a little longer to look around.
