I, like many visitors to Trip Advisor have observed and taken in quite a bit of information regarding my upcoming trip (November) to Paris and Provence. Unfortunately the trouble I am having is that there are so many wonderful suggestions for Provence, that I am having trouble figuring out where to base an unfortunately short 3 night visit to the region. We are taking the TGV from Brusells and arrive in Avignon around 5pm. If any of you Provence experts had only 3 nights to spend in Provence (and you arrive into Avignon) what would your itinerary be?
Any helpful advice is warmly welcomed and appreciated!
Merci Beaucoup!

The main question is, will you have a car? If so, St-Rémy is an excellent base for seeing the major sights: Les Baux (do not miss the ruins above the village!), Arles, the Pont du Gard, and perhaps a few of the Lubéron villages.

Picking up a car in avignon on the first evening...so as far as I understand, driving from city to city is not terribly long distances? We also want to check out some vineyards if possible...
thank you so much for your helpful suggestions!

The distances are not far; you can get time and mileage estimates from mappy.com and viamichelin.com. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards are not far from Avignon.
|||
It looks like we may stay in Aix en Provence and do a day around Chatenuef-de-Pape, as have heard those vineyards are great. Any hotel recommnedations in Aix?
|||
We like a hotel that%26#39;s on a plateau just above Aix: Le Mas d%26#39;Entremont. There are rooms in the main house, along with bungalows in the grounds--and the restaurant is excellent. Lots of parking, too.
