While this is not the FT way of traveling, I think it would lead to a better honeymoon experience.
You could do Rome also, but that might mess up a later Italian vacation.
Just my 2 cents.
I second the above. Go to Paris, stay there for as long as you can, than choose some places to visit such as: Mt Saint Michel, Strasbourg, Brussels/Brugge, Chartres and the Loire Valley, etc. You could stay the whole period in Paris and would not see everything the city has to offer.
I would not be hopping too much, it is your honeymoon and you would not like to be spending a lot of time with check-ins and check-outs. But I understand that each individual has different travelling styles.
In our Honeymoon last October, we stayed 4 nights in Siena and 5 in Perugia in Italy to explore south Tuscany and Umbria. If I were to choose France and hadn't been in Paris, I woud split between Paris and same place in the countryside.
