We flew from Toronto to Paris. The French airline was friendly and the food was delicious, fresh, & healthy. It's was an eight hour flight and we were ready for a good stretch by the time we disembarked. In Paris we mostly walked, having chosen an apartment that was close to sites we were interested in. We did take the metro (subway) once to get across town to visit Sacre Coure. It was inexpensive, clean, and quick. We took a high speed train (about 250 miles per hour) to Avignon. Again, widely used, punctual, clean, and fast. We rented a car for our two weeks in St. Remy, enabling us to visit surrounding villages, but mostly walked locally, parking being as issue. For us, bicycles were out; it was too hilly and the roads too narrow. The car was a stick shift and diesel with unlimited milage. We only needed to fuel up once.
