Current exposure: indexable
Publisher: Premier France
Canonical URL: https://premierfrance.com/

Network nodes:
- Paris Guide (parisguide.app) - live: Live Paris city guide for base, museum, arrival, and Disneyland planning.
- Loire Valley (loirevalley.app) - live: First buildable France regional product for chateaux, bases, wine, and car-free realism.
- Dordogne (dordogne.app) - live: Villages, caves, markets, river, and car-led stay-base product in active build.
- Aix-en-Provence (aixenprovence.app) - live: Provence city-base and day-trip gateway product in active build.

Editorial posture:
- Paris is a node: Paris Guide owns city depth; Premier France owns the onward choice.
- Loire is a pace decision: The Loire Valley is not just a chateaux list.
- Village France needs realism: Dordogne content must start with stay-base and car logic.
- Provence starts with base fit: Aix should clarify Provence access before expanding into romance copy.

Editorial briefs:
- paris-guide: Is Paris the whole trip, the arrival base, or the first handoff?
- loirevalley: Do I want a slower chateaux-and-river region after Paris?
- dordogne: Am I choosing village France, and am I ready for a car-led trip?
- aixenprovence: Is Aix the right Provence base before I widen the trip?

Decision paths:
- https://premierfrance.com/where-to-go-in-france/#paris-plus-region - Paris first, then one slower second base.: The traveler knows Paris belongs in the trip but does not know whether the second move should be chateaux, villages, or Provence.
- https://premierfrance.com/where-to-go-in-france/#chateaux-river-pace - Choose Loire when the trip wants rhythm, not a countryside checklist.: The traveler is tempted by chateaux but needs to know whether the Loire Valley is a base, a route, or a Paris add-on.
- https://premierfrance.com/where-to-go-in-france/#village-car-trip - Choose Dordogne when the car is part of the trip shape.: The traveler wants villages, markets, caves, and river days but has not accepted that the stay is mostly car-led.
- https://premierfrance.com/where-to-go-in-france/#provence-city-base - Choose Aix when Provence needs a walkable city base first.: The traveler wants Provence but is mixing city rhythm, markets, villages, Marseille, coast, lavender, and day trips into one vague plan.
- https://premierfrance.com/where-to-go-in-france/#no-car-reality - Choose the destination by what still works without a car.: The traveler wants France to stay rail-led but is comparing regions that do not have the same no-car tolerance.

Stay decisions:
- https://premierfrance.com/where-to-stay-in-france/#paris-city-base - Stay in Paris when the city is still carrying the trip.: Arrival recovery, museums, neighborhoods, restaurants, shopping, Disneyland pressure, and a first France trip that should not spend too much energy transferring.
- https://premierfrance.com/where-to-stay-in-france/#loire-river-town - Stay in the Loire when chateaux and river rhythm are the point.: A first regional contrast after Paris, chateaux without a frantic checklist, wine, river towns, cycling potential, and a stay that can still feel structured.
- https://premierfrance.com/where-to-stay-in-france/#dordogne-village-base - Stay in Dordogne when the car-led countryside is the product.: Villages, caves, markets, castles, river days, long meals, and a slower countryside rhythm that rewards one careful base more than a moving itinerary.
- https://premierfrance.com/where-to-stay-in-france/#aix-provence-base - Stay in Aix when Provence should start as a walkable city base.: Markets, food, plazas, Sainte-Victoire context, refined city rhythm, and selective Provence day trips before wider Marseille, coast, lavender, or village ambition.

- https://premierfrance.com/paris-plus-one-region/ - Premier France sequencing guide for choosing whether Paris should remain the whole trip or hand off to Loire Valley, Dordogne, or Aix-en-Provence as the one second base.

Understand France:
- https://premierfrance.com/understand/france-as-a-routing-system/ - The useful first question is not what to see in France. It is which kind of France trip the traveler is actually trying to build.
- https://premierfrance.com/understand/paris-and-the-first-handoff/ - Paris Guide owns city depth. Premier France should clarify whether Paris is the whole trip, the arrival base, or the point where the traveler leaves for a region.
- https://premierfrance.com/understand/regions-by-rhythm/ - Loire, Dordogne, and Provence are not interchangeable labels. Each asks for a different base, pace, and promise from the publishing network.
- https://premierfrance.com/understand/rail-car-and-base-logic/ - France planning gets better when rail, car, overnight base, and day-trip pressure are treated as editorial constraints instead of afterthoughts.
- https://premierfrance.com/understand/planned-nodes-and-publication-discipline/ - A professional network makes status visible. It does not let reserved domains or early scaffolds behave like finished destination products.
- https://premierfrance.com/understand/el-premier-france-network/ - The country hub should make the network legible: one house, one France routing layer, and separate destination products that publish only when they have earned depth.
