In Montpellier

A not bad at all vacation idea for the attention-span limited set would be to book a flight to Paris and arrive early on a Saturday morning. Immediately leave Paris in the dust of a slow-moving train to Dijon(get a window seat), then book a train to Lyon, and then one more to Montpellier. Don't take the TGV trains because they're too fast. You'd reach Montpellier in an hour or three. You don't want that. You want a single day of seeing the most beautiful countryside in France, maybe in all of Europe. You'll pass by countless villages perched on hillsides, vinyards and even Nuclear power plants. And don't worry about missing your daily instake of Church steeples. France has got your back. Catch a night plane out of Montpellier and you'll be back with minimum jet lag and plenty of time to paint a picture of all you've seen out the train window called "Paris to Montpellier on a single canvas" or just call it "Sans titel" if you want to be cool. Maybe compose a sonnet sequence about the way the sunlight in France looks through the clouds. Either way you'll only spend maybe a grand total, and have a grand day in france.
