Hi - I don't know if this helps or not but the train from Paris to Marseille takes just over 3 hours - Avignon is under 3 hours - so you are looking at most of France apart from extreme west, and south east and south west.

Why not choose a few towns and look at their websites? Comparing house prices will help you decide which towns are chic. There will also be lots of info about healthy activities.

Many villages are not great on nightlife - restaurants yes but many, many bars close at 6pm. So I would go for a town.

I am an Indian and have stayed in Grenoble for 2 years.
I think this could be a good choice .By train it is 3.5 hrs from Paris ,in alpes mountains .Good restaurents ,and active night life Lot of adventure sports (mountains )and culture arts .Swiss towns and Italy are close by .
Hope this helps you
