Can you help me plan a trip to Italy and France?

A bunch of friends and I would like to take a trip to Italy and France in early to mid-September. We've already seen Paris, Rome, Florence and Venice so maybe places on the Amalfi Coast/Italian Riviera and the French Riviera? Any suggestions you have would be great. We like places where you can relax but also find things to do when you want to (we like theater, museums, shopping in quaint little towns, a decent nightlife but nothing too wild). We are looking to spend about nine days for the trip. We are open to all suggestions ...

Thanks so much!Can you help me plan a trip to Italy and France?
The French Riviera is lovely, though mid September might be still very hot. If you all hire a car why not go from the French Riviera down to the Italian one or vice verse? You will find plenty of night life and sunny beaches but you do need to reserve hotels and you will be going in the high season and also you said you are a "bunch" whatever this means in numbers.

Other than that you might like to go to the Northern part of Italy to see the lakes? (Maj ore, Como and Garda) and have a day or two

to explore the Italian Alps? You can also decide you prefer France and tour not only the Riviera but Provance etc. The possibilities are wide open.Can you help me plan a trip to Italy and France?
Look into the San Marino area...that's lovely. Also...I love Switzerland and Lake Como side of Italy if you haven't done that... that train from Milan to Zurich is probably the prettiest train ride in the world.

  1. I would propose to plan a trip to spend your vacation in Sorrento and to visit Naples, Amalfi coast, Capri Island, Pompey and Vesuvius and then to go to Sicily and to spend there about a week.
