Route notes
Why this routing works
This is a straightforward two-stop France itinerary built as an open sequence from Columbus to Nice, then onward to Paris, before returning to Columbus. Starting on the coast and finishing in the capital keeps the route linear and avoids backtracking within France.
With 7 nights in Nice and 4 nights in Paris, the timing splits the trip into a longer first stay and a shorter final stop before the flight home. For a two-week plan, that structure gives each segment a defined place in the schedule while keeping the overall ticket to a simple three-flight pattern.
Because this is ticketed as a multi-stop itinerary rather than separate round-trips, the international and intra-Europe segments are tied into one routing: CMH-NCE-PAR-CMH. That can be useful for travelers who want fixed sequencing and a single fare structure across the full trip.
A May departure places this route in the apr-jun season window listed for the fare range. In economy, the sold price band for this itinerary runs from $1,947 to $2,549, which frames the routing as a relatively compact transatlantic multi-stop rather than a longer round-the-world ticket.
