Btw: don't know why but it makes me ask what is that? Corn in the toilet?

Corn, corn, corn. And chives.

The key is to rent a car, or in your case, a motorcycle. You can go anywhere 
and without it will be harder to get away from the touristy sites.  !0 days. 
Less you won’t see enough, more is tiring and expensive. My biggest tip about 
seeing France, or anywhere is to get out of the big cities and go to a grocery 
store. Just look at the stuff they eat and ask people what is this? I was in a 
big store and I was looking at the wine and it was really expensive, like the 
prices here. As I am standing there and telling my friend, ”they can’t drink 
this every day”. So, this really old bent over lady with a cane comes over to 
us and pointed to the floor, under and behind the big shelves were dozens of 
two gallon bottles of red and white, some with no labels at all. They were 
about 2 American dollars each.    I wanted to buy ice, ya know, a bag of ice 
for the cheap cooler I had bought so I could chill the hard cider I had bought 
from a roadside booth. The
 French do not understand ice at all. They think that cold drinks are bad for 
the colon (SWEAR TO GOD). I learned that if you wanted more than a couple of 
cubes you have to go to a bar. They have ice.  The trains are cool and thrifty, 
but when you get to the town, you still need a ride to get away from the 
station. You can rent a bicycle if you are very hardy.  You can spend a week in 
Paris. Two days in the freaking Louvre. One at Versailles. The Musee Orsay(sp). 
Notre Dame (don’t buy post cards from the guy at the little gate out front. He 
tells you that they are part of the admission price, but it’s not, it’s a scam, 
and he gets everyone).      From: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

  But seriously folks, Duncan wants to know about the non-touristy, non-over 
priced, non crowded rustic and charming spots. Am I right?

<tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>ReplyTo: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: OT: When is 
the best time to visit France? I am surprised that this discussion isn’t about 
how the French are rude and stink. I am impressed. Back when I was young and 
single I did a “trip of a lifetime and flew in to Frankfurt, Germany, picked up 
a car and went to Hiedelburg and then a slow route to Paris, North thru 
Belgium, to Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Hamburg and back to Franfurt in 8 
days. Nowadays it would give me a heart attack. Another time I flew into 
Frankfurt (the cheapest destination ticket, even now. If you want to go to 
Europe, fly to Frankfurt) and to Strasburg, Paris, the Loire Valley to Nice, 
then to Italy and Genoa, then to Switzerland, Vienna and back to Frankfurt. I 
think that was 10 days.   From: tcb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
