Don't know how long you'll stay in France but remember Paris not France, if you get time tour the "chateaux de la Loire" and push to Normandie. With the TGV hi speed train the city of Lyon is 1h40 to ce center of Paris. Bruxelles in Belgium the same. Nice places to go. I will not speak of my towm of Marseille, which is going dirtier every days but around is the fantastic Provence which today is becoming more and more american (wealthy one for sure.
TGV can take you there in 3h15 then you can rent a car to tour to Cote d'Azur or Luberon...
When do you go there? PM me i can give you my phone number in case of trouble if you going south.

Enjoy your trip.
