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'.
In about 1 in 2000 females, the hymen fails to develop any opening at all: this is called an imperforate hymen and if it does not spontaneously resolve itself before puberty a physician will need to make a hole in the hymen to allow menstrual fluids to escape.
