- After that it's up to you. You are 2h drive from paris, but you are also 1h drive to a lot of nice Loire valley castles and destinations, I'd stick around a few days personally (Love "Amboise")... Then I'd head to Paris or the south depending on your proclivities ! By car or train, very nice highways (not free), very good bullet trains (if not on strike) - but I like having a car. Last time I beelined south from the loire valley via Carcassonne (super cool medieval city, has to be seen to be believed) and ended in Barcelona ;-)

Thanks, Deschodt!

If you drive, just put your credit card in the console and don't look when you have to pay the tolls across France. If you look how much it will ruin the trip.

I was hoping we could fly short hops and Uber to get where we needed to see the Porsche factory. Speaking of Germany, the Nurburgring, is on the radar.
List: Lemans, Stuttgart, Nurburgring…

Good idea on the chairs/umbrellas and Normandy.
I got the feeling we will either extend our trip or make a second one with all to see.
