le pouzin

France

This city suits those who like quiet towns and slow life, not for those chasing busy scenes or fast pace. Best time to visit is May to September, when the weather is nice. Budget per person is about 300-600 yuan. The city is small, cross-area travel takes no more than 30 minutes. Must-visit: old town and riverside park, for local vibe. Skip the museum, it's dull and empty. Don't rent a car in the city center, parking is hard and expensive.
