As noted, I’m saving money to send my father and his GF to France. It’s always been on his bucket list, and while he sent me to Europe he’s never been. He will want a few days in Paris. But I’d really like for him to experience the less touristed charming villages in the country. I’m thinking 15 days, 3 nights in Paris, and then I’m a bit lost. They are octogenarian but still bike and walk everywhere. I’m hoping to find two really charming walkable towns with nice markets, cafes, places to buy food (I’ll be renting either apartments or villa for two stays) decent window shopping, maybe a cooking class, an historical tour, a bike ride… lots of exploration and town squares or similar. Anyone have one or two ideal places?

I am saving money to send my father and his GF to France, as he’s always dreamed of going. They are very fit and active octogenarians. They will spend a few nights in Paris, but I would like to rent a charming apartment, air bnb or villa for them in a beautiful somewhat romantic town with great food, places to bike, little markets or a great open air market. Lots of places to get coffee and watch people, maybe take a cooking class… more of a small town feel even if it’s bigger. Open to exploring all suggestions! Thank you!
