Hi Everyone,
I realize this subject has been broached many times. I’ve read the posts here and in other forums and the articles out there but the more I read the more it got muddled for me. So here is our background:
-This is part of a trip through parts of France and Italy. We did Italy last year .
-It’s me, my wife and 3 kids...11, 10 and 7
-We have a car
- 4 nights in this region AND we will be doing a separate 5 nights just for the Riviera since it’s included sometimes
- We prefer using VRBO type places so countryside around areas is fine
We initially had a VRBO in Gordes but started doubting how “central” it is so right now, from all my reading I’m thinking St Remy; Aix en Provence; L’Isle sur le Sorgue; or Fontaine de Vaucluse.
Of that list I had read St Remy might be too touristy. I also nixed Avignon; Arles ; Roussillon due to location or the amount of negative reviews here.
ANY advice or new places appreciated! We are pretty experience travelers and the kids are too for their age so driving to places, trains, etc are not bothersome to us. Pont Du Gard and some Roman ruins would be on our list to see!
