Itineraries, day by day
Each plan below is a complete stay: what to do on every single day, what it is likely to cost, and the month the figures were chosen for. Open one, then let the assistant rebuild it around your own dates, your departure airport and your budget.
These itineraries are written one at a time, not generated. The month attached to each is taken from the measured weather record of the place it visits — never from a marketing calendar — and the budget is broken into five lines whose total is the range shown on the card. Those lines are orders of magnitude for the whole stay, drawn from the country's price level against France; they are not quotations, and the planning assistant replaces the flight and accommodation lines with live figures for your own departure. No hotel, restaurant or airline is ever named, no opening hours or admission prices are quoted, and every plan links back to the full destination guide it comes from.
