I'm hoping some of you could give some pointers for me to research from. I'm not from the continent so I feel like there are a lot more countries/areas to explore that I haven't heard of, and most of my googling gives 'big city vibes' annoyingly. Living in Wales atm hence Europe travelling.
I'm trying to plan a trip for a week in September as a couple. We've done a couple short (2-4 day) trips in parts of Europe and we're a bit sick of the big cities. We plan to do week-ish trip to somewhere a bit more rural (maybe similar to a cabin rental) and either train or drive to nearby light hikes or smaller towns.
Main issue I'm finding is we're a bit overdone with Germanic Europe. In the past couple years, we've done (most of these multiple times each): Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany as well as Croatia, Greece (during winter tho), Scotland and soon Portugal. Lightly warm would be nice but not melting temps lol.
So far I've been thinking maybe southern France (never been besides a day in Paris). I had also been debating on Tegernsee but that's still Germany. It was stunning and mountains+beers are an ideal combo but trying to escape all the germanic architecture.
Any ideas? Don't have the budget for Asia or somewhere further atm so planning to stick to Europe for this week trip. #travel source
