Sure Yep AHA The most important thing is to never forget some chips and nuts so you can give some for the wonderful birds and Swans and Ducks,you will have extra joy when you are doing this, and the animals will be thankful ;-D
The Metro map of paris is the msot important thing in your Packing list, without it you are paralised, it is really much better to have it in your hand in spite of the fact that you can always buy one in paris or see it when you are in the metro!
Yes Walkman is absolutley needed when you go for some hours by train to Orleans, it is good to have it, as I don't know, i feel bad when i read in Trains, or Buses, or Cars! I always feel like I'm gonna vomite! so better have your walkman with nice tapes in your packing list!
As the weather in France is really naughty and could play trickes with you, suddenly the sun is gone and it begins to rain in a strong way, don't you forget to take an umbrella with you, that was the first advice I've got from my dearest friend Simone, member sim1she told me once you go there don't forget your umbrella, and her words were justice!
Pack light and buy new clothes there. They have great clothing in France. If you must pack a lot be prepared to cary it around and make sure whoever's picking you up has a big enough car. Comfortable waterproof hiking boots got me through many rainy days and the occasional snowy day. A wind breaker and wool sweater and many times my winter jacket. You must have a cool scarf also.

The guides of Michelin are very good. The green books tell you everything about a part of France, like 'the Loire castles', or 'Bourgogne/Morvan'. Very complete with lots of interesting facts and tips, maps of towns etc. There are editions in several languages.
Keeping it light worked for us. Definately walking shoes. For April travel a light jacket and an umbrella was really all that was needed. Don't forget to bring an AC adaptor. This is probably the most important thing you can bring with you if you plan on using foreign electronics and such, like a hairdryer. I brought several one use cameras. Then there's no need to change batteries or film.
The type of bag to take depends on where you will be staying, but if you decide to take a boat, you must use soft holdalls which can be stowed away. Comfortable footwear is paramount. Even if not planned - you will certainly end up walking for miles, either around town centres, cathedrals, museums or along beaches and coastal walks. The whole of France welcomes walkers, and caters well for their needs.At the same time, you should pack a light mackintosh or an umbrella - even the sunny south can be the subject of a swift torrent of rain. Leave buying insect creams until your arrival - every area has its own brand of 'crawly/flying things' and the local pharmacist (look out for the green cross) will be happy to prescribe the necessaries. Provided you are near to a small town you will normally be able to buy batteries etc. for your cameras, but its always wise to take along a...
take a backpack or sportsbag and a tent with sleepingsack dress lightly in summer. It is nice warm in France. It doesn't rain often in summer. In Normandy it can be cold... suncream and anti mosquitocreams. Also some medicins for wasps when you are alergic to them.
