This, although you don't need a flight to the Cotswolds--a train or car will do, and is all of a couple hours from Heathrow. Or stay in Oxford and take day trips to the Cotswolds. The climate is unlikely to be terribly hot.

Quebec, too - much smaller but intensely cute little city.

You have a young 'un, right? I don't know how many times I have to tell you people this, but Tremblant, an hour north of Montreal, is absolute, unbelievable kid heaven in the summer. advert here Putting a week in Tremblant sandwiched between a couple long weekends in Montreal or one in Montreal and one in Quebec is pretty ideal.
This will be a Brazenette-free vacation.

That's almost exactly what I said when I suggested Paris for our honeymoon and the then-soon-to-be Mrs. Finch said that everyone leaves for vacation. "Paris without French people? Sounds perfect!"

Unfortunately, many of them are replaced by Germans.

It is like a side-out in volleyball. Everybody rotates one country.

But, I agree with Montreal or Quebec as a good alternative. Can you fly nonstop from MIA to YQB?
Hey, no harm in extending a little...

I just looked at the YQB website and no - surprising. So Montreal is much better.

Just got back from Paris. I think the French are a ridiculous people as a general matter, but I have always thought they get a bad rep for being rude. If you tend to spend your time at tourist trap restaurants, you will get horrible service. We went to a place between Notre Dame and The Louvre for a late lunch and the service was awful. But almost every other place we visited and almost all the other people we interacted with while in Paris were very pleasant.

That said, I almost had to beat the hell out of some jackass French wannabe thug on the Metro who sat right next to the door with his legs sticking straight out so everyone entering had to step over them. So, I kicked his legs as I stepped over them. He nudged me and said something "tough" in French (and I think it might be impossible to sound hard in French). I told him to move his fucking legs (in English, of course). He got loud, but didn't get up, so I went to sit down. He continued to talk shit at the top of his lungs without looking at me. At his stop, he kept it up, looking at me. I made the international sign for "You're all talk" as he walked out with his punk ass thug firend, which made him get louder. But he passed my door without doing a fucking thing. I had to laugh at him. The doors remained open for a bit and I figured that was that. But after they closed, he tried to spit at me through the window and hit someone else. Unbelievable. There were two of them, they had plenty of opportunity and all they could do was spit. Fucking surrender monkeys.

eta: By the way, Paris must be the popped-collar, sweater-tied-around-your-neck capital of the world. Never have I seen so many good looking women with douchebags in my life. Also, there are hardly any fat people in Paris, which is weird after spending so much time visiting places in the US.

That's one of the best reviews of any movie, ever.

That chick needs to write a book of reviews.

ETA: And get herself an Ebert (circa 1995).

I really hav enever enjoyed my time there it seems standoffish, and too much hassle to really be conductive to relaxing or romance.
I went with a buddy from college. If there was romance, I've been doing a damn fine job of repressing that memory.

I saw thugs on the Metro as well. They were tiny. Cute little imitations of real thugs.

The French are a fine people. Parisians, however, are a pain in the ass. I met some of the nicest people I've ever met in the Champagne region.

Also, I am a sucker for a french-speaking woman.
