Austria's city transport is genuinely good for step-free travel and its historic centers are genuinely difficult. Both are true at once, and the useful planning is about which parts of a trip fall on which side of that line.
Austria suits an unhurried trip better than almost anywhere in this program. The distances are short, the trains are frequent and comfortable, and the things worth seeing are concentrated rather than scattered.
April to June and September to October give France its best weather, its open museums and its working cities. July and August bring heat, wildfire risk across the south, and a French holiday month that closes the places you came to see.
France follows Schengen area rules, so the ninety days are counted across every Schengen country you visit and not against France alone. Two passport tests decide entry, and staying with a French host may need a document your host obtains before you travel.
France runs from an Atlantic north as wet as Ireland to a Mediterranean south that burns, with two mountain ranges in between. Packing for one of them is the most common mistake.
France uses the euro and takes cards almost everywhere a visitor goes. The exceptions are small and predictable: markets, some bakeries, rural tabacs and a few museum desks.
France asks two things of a bag that most destinations do not: footwear that survives cobbles and stairs, and identification you can produce on request. Everything else is layers.
France is a rail country and the train is almost always the right answer between cities. Where it is not, driving brings four legal requirements that visitors routinely miss.
