What are your interests? If you are into nature, Provence is fabulous. There is wonderful walking in the Camargue with a huge nature reserve. The Alps are great, perhaps the Mercantour National Park although it may be a bit chilly still in May.
If you like the sea, Languedoc-Roussillon around Collioure is spectacular and has beaches. The Pyrenees are also fabulous. If you like gentler terrain, try Burgundy, Normandy or Brittany (which also has the Atlantic coast).
If you like art and history, Avignon in the south or Paris in the north are amazing. Grenoble has a great art museum and the Alps. Dijon has an excellent art museum and wine tours.
If you want it all, go to Paris where there is nature (Luxembourg, Tuileries, Buttes des Chaumont and other gardens and parks); the Louvre , Rodin and d'Orsay museums (plus at least 60 more museums); nightlife, excellent food, walks along the Seine, world-famous churches, concerts.
You name it; it's in Paris. There is also a campground in Paris along with quite a few youth hostels.
All cities are fun in France . . . LOL
