We are planning an upcoming trip to France. While we’ll be spending most of our time in Paris, we are hoping to take one or two day-trips to other parts of France. One of the areas we would like to see are the Alps. How long does it take to get to the Alps by train? Would we have time to travel there, enjoy the scenery for an afternoon or so, and get back all in the same day? What city should we visit?

I’m in my early 20s and will be taking a trip to France and Italy and I have about 5 days in Provence. My itinerary now is to have about 1 day in Avignon, 1.5 days in Arles, 1 day in Aix-en-Provence, and 2 days in Nice. I’ll be going from Paris to Provence, and then from Provence to Venice, and plan on sticking to the trains/buses while in Provence. Question 1: I think this is rushing it a bit, any ideas how to pare down the Provence part? Question 2 (more important): to reduce the number of hotel transfers that I’m making which takes time, does it make sense to have a certain city be my home base where I have a hotel, and then take day trips from there to elsewhere? If so, what should be my home base city?
