I'll be staying in Bordeaux for a month. I'll have time on the weekdays to do some short trips and weekends I will be free.

Go to Mont St. Michel in Normandie. I've done a lot of traveling in my life and it is by far one of the coolest places I've ever been. Stay there the night if you can.

Go to the military cemeteries in the north, near where the D-Day beaches were. Take a guided tour in the area if you're interested in WWII history.

In Paris go to the catacombs and go early in the morning (like right when it opens) or else you'll be waiting forever. Obviously there is the Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, Arc de Triomphe, etc.

Go to Monaco just to see it, but it's really not all that great. The aquarium is nice I guess but it's really just a lot of looking around at big boats and fancy cars and nice houses that 99.999 percent of the population can't even dream of owning. But other than that there is not a lot to do.

Bordeaux has the best food in France. Eat a lot there. The French do duck really well, btw. Make a day trip to Montpellier and to Toulouse if you can.

Try to see the cote d'azur. Make a trip to Menton if you want to try the world's best limoncello and see some nice beaches (I saw the nicest pair of tits in my entire life there), Villefranche Sur Mer is even more picturesque and one of my favorite places in France, and also Nice is cool. You also have Cassis and areas like that that are really picturesque. Just google some other places and see if they look nice to you, rent a car, and go.

I've heard Lyon is nice but I've never been there. The trains are fast and cheap so it might be worth it. Also, if you are planning on doing A LOT of traveling by train and want to save some money, you can pay 50 euros for a train pass (assuming you are 26 or under) that will get you about 50 percent off of all of your trains if you buy them far enough in advance.
