Bon jour. Do you prefer Amsterdam over Paris? I do but generally try to arrive internationally at my desired destination rather than connecting within Europe. Outbound, either Amsterdam or Paris are fine (though Paris can feature some long walks), and flying straight home to Detroit consistently works well.

We visited our daughter three times when she studied in Maastricht, arriving at AMS once and CDG twice (en route to tennis tournaments in Monaco and Paris). Taking the train to Brussels for the day was a nice experience. Our daughter joked that she went there just to have waffles. I also enjoyed the artistry of the Liege train station.

D- lots of variety.
I generally made Brussels my hub for Benelux, and then drove to various cities, including Eindhoven.
My main European headquarters was in Munich. I generally started there, and trained to other cities depending on the need. Then I'd fly home to MSP , generally through Amsterdam, occasionally Paris.

Try a helicopter someday. Very swift, and incomparable views.
Don't forget to wave to the nude sunbathers on Cap Ferrat.

Atlanta marks the fourth airport we've flow to or from Nice.
The others are Paris, Geneva, and (wait for it) Eindhoven.

Nice - another of my favorite cities. Have not flown in; gotten there by train from Paris. Very convenient by train to Monoco.

I thought the flight number was a good clue. Officially it's Nice Côte d'Azur Airport. Beautiful approach as well.

I have to ask..where is this? This seems like the most perfectly placed airport possible...Traveller
