Business trip to France - UPDATE
Posted on 8/16/22 at 8:35 pm

I’ll be traveling to France in a few months for work business for a week (m-Fri). I was planning on taking a few days of vacation on the back end to see some of France.
I’ve never been to Europe before, so any suggestions are welcome.
I’m also trying to figure how many extra days makes since?
Update:
So my flight has been booked… Leaving BTR Saturday mid day and arriving in Lyon Sunday AM. I’m staying near Lyon Part-Dieu station Sunday-Friday. I booked my flight back Wednesday AM out of Charles de Gaulle in Paris.
Any advice for how to spend my time between Friday mid day to Wednesday? I’ll need to eventually get to Paris for Wednesday AM flight.

Where in France?
If Paris, don’t leave Paris.

Yeah I agree I would just do Paris and spend your time there since it’s your first trip to Europe. It would be the easiest thing, the most people speaking English, easy public transport, and you could spend a month in Paris and not see “everything”.
I’d give yourself 5 days in Paris. If you have extra days take day trips to Champagne/Reims, or Versailles, or Normandy etc.
If you have more time then you could spend time in other parts or even places like Amsterdam.

How many days is defined by your availability of time off and by your budget.

Few days? First time to Europe? I agree with the people who say stay in Paris the whole time.

Since you're going to Lyon I will give you an alternative to Paris, if you want.
Lyon is one of the culinary capitals of the world.
Do you like wine?
Just above it you have Beaujolais and Burgundy. Just below you have the Rhone Valley.
You could spend a lot of time in some of the best wine country on earth, visiting beautiful little towns, touring and tasting at some of the oldest and best vineyards anywhere.
You could also either go down to the French Riviera and spend time in Nice or Cannes...or spend time in absolutely gorgeous Annecy, or even go all the way up to Alsace and spend time in Colmar and Strasbourg.
You really cannot go wrong.

Short train rides to Brussels, Antwerp, and Amsterdam.
Do all 3.
