Enjoyed each city on its own terms, but Paris still felt squeezed, I got only a partial afternoon in the Louvre and left the Mona Lisa hall wishing I'd had the full day. Everything after Paris was smoother and more relaxed.
Solo friendly itinerary through France, just wish there was one more day built in for Lyon.
Travelling solo through France for the first time and this route from Nice to Paris to Marseille and Lyon gave me just the right balance of independence and structure. Getting lost in the traboules of Vieux Lyon on my last afternoon was unexpectedly my favourite memory, stumbling into hidden courtyards with no map. Nice's Promenade des Anglais on day one set a relaxed tone for the whole trip. Eight nights across four cities sounds like a lot of movement but the pacing never felt rushed, plenty of free time to wander on my own.
Enjoyed the cities individually but the train transfer from Nice to Paris ate up almost a full day of the trip, would have preferred a flight option built into the package for solo travellers on a tighter timeline.
The route is great but my Paris check-in took over an hour in a slow queue, and by the time I reached the room it was too late for a real dinner, so I overpaid for mediocre food at a tourist trap next door. Not what I expected from a premium package.
Nice at the start was the gentlest possible introduction to travelling on my own. By Lyon I was confident enough to ditch the map and just follow the smell of dinner into the nearest bouchon, which is exactly how the last night should feel.
