I will be staying in the south of France for 9 nights. Four nights in Nice, then two nights in Moustiers St Marie. The plan is to rent a car when I leave Nice, visit St Paul du Vence, maybe Grasse, and then Moustiers. Next day, visit Verdon du Gorges and stay night in Moustiers.
Next day leave Moustiers and travel thru some of the towns of the Luberon and Provence, right now I am thinking of a route that goes thru Lourmarin. After the two days/nights I will be staying in Lisle sur la Sorgue so that I can go to the Sunday market, then I will head down to Nimes, return car, take train to Barcelona.
So wondering if I should base for those two nights, stay in one place and do day trips or plan the drive and book two different hotels. If a base is the best plan, what would be a good base that would allow me to go north towards the Gordes area, or go south towards Camargue, the thinking being if I have a base I can more flexible as to where I am going depending on the weather and my mood. Arles does not seem good because of the car/parking issue. Avignon, too big.
The groups thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.
