Getting to Provence. A trip from Paris to Provence only takes a couple of hours on the TGV (High Speed Train). TGV trains are very convenient and depart either from downtown Paris or Paris CDG Airport and take you to central Provence in Avignon, Southern Provence in Aix-en-Provence or Marseille.
You don't break a hymen.    The hymen is tissue surrounding the vaginal opening, it is flexible  so can stretch to allow penetration without tearing-the hymen can  tear if it is wide, delicate, or if penetration is either rough or  forced, but it does not 'break'.
The Hymen & Virginity. You often hear about the hymen breaking with first intercourse. It can happen, but if a woman is relaxed during intercourse and has good lubrication and she or her partner has tried to stretch the hymen with fingers, then it likely won't break.
