Why was Thomas Jefferson absent during the Constitutional Convention of 1787?

So im trying to figure our why jefferson did not attend the convention of 1787. I know he was in France during this time (which is the most obvious reason) but, were there any objections that he had with the constitution himself?
Im considering two options:

1. He didnt approve of a strong national govt that promoted industrialization.
2. He didnt like the concepts of checks and balances.

Concorde tickets were very expensive back then. He couldn’t afford the flight.
