Eight days in France means trading Paris zinc bars for Provençal lavender fields, with the smell of warm butter croissants trailing you between train stations. Expect long lunches and slower afternoons.

About this France trip
France in eight days asks you to choose: stay in Paris and slow down, or pair the capital with one region south. Most travelers do better splitting the trip, with three or four nights in Paris and the rest in Provence or along the Mediterranean. The TGV makes this painless. You can finish a morning espresso at a Saint-Germain café and be eating bouillabaisse in Marseille by dinner.
Start in Paris with the obvious anchors, the Louvre, Notre-Dame's restored facade, the Eiffel Tower at dusk, but build in neighborhood time. Le Marais rewards aimless walking past Place des Vosges and into the Picasso Museum. Canal Saint-Martin pulls a younger crowd to natural wine bars like Le Verre Volé. Book one nice dinner: Septime if you plan months ahead, Clamato or Le Servan if you don't. For day trips, Versailles is the classic, but a Champagne run to Reims or Épernay often feels less crowded.
Heading south, Provence works well in summer for lavender (peak bloom is late June through mid-July) and Aix makes a good base for Gordes, the Sénanque Abbey, and the ochre paths of Roussillon. If you'd rather swap countryside for coast, Nice gives you socca, the Matisse Museum, and easy trains to Èze, Villefranche, and Antibes. Lyon is the food-focused alternative, all bouchons and Paul Bocuse market stalls.
Eat lunch as your big meal; many top kitchens offer prix-fixe menus at half the dinner price. Mid-range hotels run 180 to 280 euros in Paris, less in the regions. Avoid August in cities (locals leave, half the bistros close) and target May, June, or September.
