Help me decide ...

I'm going on holiday and am trying to decide between:

Paris and then Strasbourg, the northernly capital of the Alsace Lorraine region.

and

Paris and then Nice, the glamorous beachfront Côte d'Azur hotspot.

I've always wanted to visit Strasbourg ever since I was offered an art history post-grad scholarship I couldn't afford to take. It's mix of Germanic and French influence, it's location in the Alsace Wine Reqion and it's proximity to the Rhine are inviting.

Nice, on the other hand is beachy, warm, mediterranean, expensive and glamorous. Located on the famous Côte d'Azur it's likely to be touristy, but Cannes and Monte Carlo are nearby.

Cast your votes now ...
