I would drop Bordeaux (enjoying the wines without actually visiting the area is possible). (Also, once in Bordeaux you'll probably have to go back to Paris to make it somewhere else by train.)
But keep Nice (or replace it with Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Avignon - all closer to Paris) to get a feeling for the north-south difference in France.
On the way from Paris to the south you can still stop in Lyon (which is the food capital of France) for 1 or 2 nights .
