is of course another great possibility. The Canal du Midi is high on my list of places to live, if I ever make the jump to a canal boat. Bordeaux is apparently much nicer than it used to be, too.

Also, there's nothing terribly wrong with Lyon. Though it's a jump up in size, it certainly isn't Paris.

You lucky people. So many great choices.
