Paris is fun, ride round the Place de l'Étoile, once you can manage that you can ride anywhere. I used to work 200 yards away on Av Kleber. so had plenty of practice. The peripherique is a fantastic road. Think like a Parisian and you will have no problem.

I would however say, get over to Grenoble, and drop down to the cote d'azur though the edge of the Alps.

If staying in Paris, I would suggest the Floride Etoile on Rue st Didier or the Victor Hugo on Rue Copernic, both are clean and central without costing the earth for a city centre hotel. I also like the Baltimore but not if I have to pay.

the place we stayed at for one night, small town called Givet, in france about 20-30 miles from Belgium was very nice town and a campsite next to the river within easy walking distance to town. However if you have come back by now then maybe next time.
