Hi, my friend and I will be departing on a 2 week tour of France and Italy next month. We're planning on hitting 3 cities in each country. Starting in Paris, Lyon (or some other wine country in the south - any suggestions) and French Riviera. Then onto Venice, Rome and Florence in Italy. Then, back to Paris. What would you recommend as the most efficient and economic mode of transportation - trains? If so, should I purchase Eurorail passes in the US or is it the same if I just purchase them at the stations? Do you have any fun/economic/clean/safe hostel recommendations in any of those cities? Finally, am I crazy for attempting this in 2 weeks? Thanks!
