I will be planning a trip to visit my son while he is doing a semester abroad in Aix en Provence this fall. I was thinking about going around mid to late September, early October for around 2 weeks. After the crowds and weather cools off.
I am not sure where to stay in the area, and I also was wondering about the best way to get there without renting a car. I will be flying from LAX, so I assume that I would fly into Paris.
I would like to spend more time in Europe after I hang out with him in Aix for just a few nights. He won't have time or want me around more than a couple of nights anyway. Any suggestions on side trips from that area. I have spent plenty of time in Paris so I don't need to be there more than needed for travel. Not that I don't think it is a great destination.
Thank you in advance for your valuable information.

It's been a few years, so there might be more recent info, but I walked to a bus station just outside of Aix, which was a short bus ride to the Aix TGV station. Around 3 hours to Paris.
