I agree with the posts here. Try to divide your time equally in between. There are places around each city that you can easily do a day trip by train if each city becomes too much for you and your family. If you add another destination, it will complicate your travel and take away from your experience in these amazing cities.
Thought about Scotland to try some scotch with my dad, or somewhere outside of Paris to wine country in France. Open to other ideas and preferred methods of travel (already know about the train from London to Paris)
You could easily do 5 nights in each and have more than enough to do. I’m obsessed with London and Paris. I recently spent a week in just London and was not ready to leave
Edinburgh is amazing as well if you are wanting to tack on another city, but make sure you spend at least 3 nights each in Paris and London.
Honestly, 5 days in each place isn’t near enough to see it all but it’s a good start. Maybe 4 in London and 6 in France. Normandy is a quick day trip from Paris. Reims, where all of the champagne is made, is a 40 min train ride from Paris.
You can go to other wine areas around Paris fairly easily by train too. I wouldn’t suggest Scotland though unless you fly, it’s a haul to get there from London.
Yep. Paris is closer, as is Brussels.
Can’t speak for Paris but you could easily spend half that time in London and not get remotely tired of it. A few things I’d recommend to start:
a Sunday roast dinner in a nice pub and drink some ales,
visit the Tower of London (this is great) and then walk down the Thames path into the City of London and find a walking tour to hear about the history of it,
pop out to Windsor castle,
If you’re American I wouldn’t bother with Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Sq or theatreland as they’re more like baby versions of places in the US - seek out the old stuff!
