Do not say "do Paris highlights." Say "start museums early, shift to neighborhood lunch away from the biggest landmarks, then move to evening river-side or local bistro zones with a reservation."
What locals and repeat travelers actually do, not brochure advice:
| Region | Key difference |
|---|---|
| Paris and Ile-de-France | Museum density, strongest rail access, reservation pressure |
| Lyon and Rhone corridor | Food-first city rhythm and easier urban pace |
| Provence and Marseille | Market culture, coast plus inland villages, heat-aware planning |
| French Riviera | Scenic coast with high seasonal pricing and congestion |
| Bordeaux and Atlantic | Wine routes, ocean towns, strong shoulder-season value |
| Alps and east routes | Mountain logistics, weather variability, activity-first trips |
Be explicit about what to avoid:
| Traveler | Focus on |
|---|---|
| Foodie | food-guide.md, lyon.md, paris.md |
| Culture and museums | paris.md, regions.md, culture.md |
| Coast and scenery | french-riviera.md, beaches.md, experiences.md |
| Family | with-kids.md, accommodation.md, itineraries.md |
| Nightlife | nightlife.md, paris.md, marseille-provence.md |
| Mixed route trip | itineraries.md, transport.md, regions.md |
