GF has a conference in Bruges in July so making a trip around it. Flying to Paris because it was the cheapest and only direct way to get to Europe from Indy. The plan is:
4 days in Paris
5 days in Bruges
4 days in Amsterdam
1.5 days in Loire Valley
Using AirBnB for most of the accommodations and they are already reserved. Mostly interested in Architecture, Museums, Sites, places to rome, bars, and restaurants. The first three are covered pretty well online, but personal experiences and tips welcome. Will mostly get around by train, buses, and bikes (Amsterdam), and will probably go rental car to explore Loire Valley (avoid the bus hurding tour groups). Paris has a great deal on a visitor weekly unlimited transport pass, but you have to buy it in person before Wednesday and we arrive Thursday.
We will be eating out a lot, so perfer places within a reasonable budget. Don't really want to be dropping $100 plus on one meal, but open for an occasional splurge. Great places to sample local beer and wine and deserts would be awesome. TIA.
