Help needed on best staying location in Provance

Hi. We are a family of 6 adults who will be staying August 20 - 24th in the south of France.

We are looking for a beautiful city / village to stay that can also be used as a central base to Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, villages near Roussillon, and Marseille and others perhaps you can recommend.

We were thinking of Saint-rémy-de-provence. Yes / No/ Any other suggestion?

FYI We enjoy beautiful scenery, great food, wine. Not really into heavy hiking. We will have a car with us.

Thank you.

Saint-Rémy is indeed a very central base.
In August, I also like L'Isle sur la Sorgue, where you can take a very refreshing dip in the river.
AC is needed in both cases!

You can't go wrong with St Remy de Provence, IMO. But Ile-sur-la-Sorgue is good too.
