French Riviera and Provence May 2026 itinerary

I could use some help planning an itinerary and hotel recommendations.
I realize it is last minute, but I checked booking.com and found availability at a number of hotels.
(I have searched the boards and paid special attention to CD in DC’s October Trip Report)
I’m flying to Nice from Philly in early May.
Return to San Diego from CDG because it offers the best connections.
I’m using a combination of miles and multi-city pricing on American Airlines.

I’m 60 yo female traveling solo since my husband has other commitments.
I travel to France a few times a year solo so, I’m confident with public transportation.
First run at the itinerary is three nights in each Nice, (or city recommended), three nights in either Arles, Avignon or Aix-en-Provence and then four nights in Paris.
Public transportation only.
Regarding hotel recommendations. I budget around $300 USD per night and like a quiet room with a nice bed. I stay in the Hôtel Signature Saint Germain des Près or one of their family properties as a point of reference. Also, liked the Mecure properties in Metz and Lyon.
I apologize for so much detail and appreciate any assistance.
