Agreed. Paris is unlikely to impress or surprise, at least to the extent that you might be hoping, and what you'd expect given how much you'll be paying for it. Avignon, Carcassone, Annecy and the like, and million chateaux and other such touristy places are a much better bet in my opinion. And yeah, if you've only got 5 days, you're probably only gonna manage one country, skimming.
