The Vosges mountains are closer than the Alps. Easier trips out of Paris might be to the beaches of Normandy, Versailles, a castle, or somewhere else that wouldn't be more travel than visit.

Stop at Beaunes, visit the hospices de Beaune, and eat excellent food, you're on the country of Burgundy wine. Follow the Geneve direction, via Macon. Chamonix Mont-Blanc will be at 7 hours from Paris if you don't stop at Beaunes. Visit Annecy, our French Venise. And be careful on the roads, 130km/hour on the highway (110 if it's raining), 90 on the main roads. If you take the train, take the TGV at the Gare de Lyon Station, which directly goes to Annecy, in the Alps. 3h30 from Paris. Or you can take the Paris/Geneva TGV. Same time. I know all this because I'm french, I live in the Alps (close to Chamonix), and I go every month to Paris. Have a good stay, hope you'll enjoy the French Alps (my country!)
