Would love some help deciding on a good home base for visiting Provence... I've been researching for hours! I've lived in France, but have never visited this region.
We'll be in the Loire Valley beforehand. Instead of driving down south, we'll return the rental and hop on the train to Aix, where we'll rent another car. I was thinking of staying in Aix proper, but my husband, daughter and I really do love the peace and quiet of the countryside. I found a lovely Airbnb in Ansouis--would that be "central" enough to explore Avignon, Aix, the Luberon villages, and potentially Arles, Cassis and the Gorge du Verdon? We'll only be in the area for four days, so not too long...
