France & Switzerland,
paris, the côte d'azur, and the alps.
Three days in Paris, three on the Mediterranean, and five in the Swiss Alps. Paris is the classic list done properly — the Eiffel Tower at night, a Seine cruise, Versailles, and a full day at Disneyland. Then a six-hour train south to Nice, where Monaco, Menton and Cannes are all day trips. The last leg flies to Zurich and drops into Interlaken for the mountains: Jungfraujoch, Mount Titlis, Lucerne and the Rhine Falls.

“Paris to Nice is the leg everybody wants to fly. Don't. It is six hours of train and the last hour is the Mediterranean out of your window, and flying it means two airports to save nothing.”

When to visit
Our pick — Riviera warm, Alps clear, Paris at its best
The other good window. The coast is still swimmable and the crowds have gone.
The Riviera is at capacity. Doable, but book months ahead.
Nice goes quiet and the beach leg loses its point
Things to do in France & Switzerland
The Eiffel Tower after dark
Second level, then straight onto a Seine cruise as the city lights come on. It is the standard evening because it works.
Disneyland Paris — both parks
One full day, both parks, if you start early. We book the tickets and set the order.
Monaco and Menton
East along the coast — the harbour and the Casino de Monte-Carlo, then Menton's lemon-coloured old town near the Italian border.
The uncommercialised Riviera
Cannes for the Palais des Festivals, then the hill towns behind it that the day-trip coaches never reach.
Jungfraujoch or Grindelwald First
A full day on the mountain, then Lauterbrunnen — seventy-two waterfalls in one valley — on the way back.
Lucerne and Mount Titlis
The Lion Monument and the Kapellbrücke, then the rotating cable car up to the glacier.
