France and Italy in 12 days: Paris, the Riviera, Florence and Rome
Paris → Nice → Florence → Rome
Three days in Paris, two on the Riviera, three in Florence and three in Rome, joined entirely by train. Which museums actually need booking, why Nice is the right stop in the middle rather than a detour, and the ticket that is worth buying months ahead.
