Please be aware that the schools in France start on Monday 31 August so you'll find a lot of heavy traffic ... road/rail ... and may be find that accommodation will be still pretty full. Book now. Have you considered the Chteaux of the Loire, Mont St Michel and Brittany, or even coming my way and heading east to Alsace .... lots to see, do, and great wine to enjoy!

Actually the first day of school is Tuesday Sep 1st. But you are right that the entire weekend leading up to Tuesday will be traffic hell throughout France, especially if you are heading into Paris on those days. The jams start about 50 kilometers or so outside of Paris on all the routes. I usually am leaving Paris on that Sunday each year so I see it with my own eyes. And I'll do it again this year. Leaving Paris is fine. No traffic.

Also good suggestion above and I'll thrown in my Burgundy region. Better wine.

St Malo and surroundings are definitely very nice places to go
